A unique and unrepeatable Airshow will be held at the “M. De Bernardi” of Pratica di Mare, the weekend of 17 and 18 June, to continue celebrating the Centenary of the Air Force. Young and old will be able to experience the Arma Azzurra in all its nuances, retracing the evolution of the aerial instrument up to the aerospace dimension.
Exhibitions of aircraft that have made history, from the Caproni Ca.3 to the G-91, passing through the TF-104, a flight over the formation that will draw the number 100 in the sky, and a breathtaking finale: the acrobatic show of the Frecce Tricolori. It will be possible to experience the thrill of flying thanks to playful simulators; live an immersive experience through a series of interactive itineraries; visit "Camp 100", the area dedicated to historical re-enactment, created with aircraft and extras that will recall the deeds of the men and women in blue, from the birth of the Air Force up to today.
It will be possible to visit a static exhibition, where more than 40 aircraft will be exhibited – including F-35, Euro Fighter and T-346 – and various thematic areas: from Space to Integrated Missile Air Defense, to excellent capabilities such as emergency medical transport, meteorological service and projection logistics. And again: technology, robotics and cyber security, which will project visitors towards the future, also thanks to the holding of one of the stages of the Italian Drone Cup.
There will also be an area dedicated to the main industries of the Aerospace and Defense sector, bearing witness to the fundamental role that the Air Force plays for the country and its indissoluble bond with technological and industrial excellence.
The event will also make it possible to continue supporting the "A gift from heaven for AIRC" initiative, the charity collection promoted by the Air Force in favor of oncological research, whose funds will be used for the purchase of latest generation machinery for the 'IFOM, Foundation Institute of Molecular Oncology.
The event will be streamed live on the social channels of the Armed Forces, while on Sunday 18 June the event will also be broadcast live on RAI1 TV from 15:40 to 18:55.
The public will have free access after registering on the site www.aeronautica.difesa.it. The opening of the gates and the start of the activities of the Exhibition is scheduled for 9:00.
