Vast Air Show 2015

06/07/15

The excellence of the Italian aeronautics has returned to dart in the Abruzzo skies. The performance of the national aerobatic team was held along the coast between Vasto and San Salvo, at the Vasto Air Show 2015.

Before the Frecce Tricolori, who had already enchanted the audience with the tests of the weekend, they showed their skills and their technical preparation of high-level groups and airplanes: flying over "Flying Vasto" Association, Yak 52 Gyula Vàri (Hungary ), S 211 Canetto / Ferrante (Italy), AB212 State Police (Italy), ATR 42 Coast Guard (Italy), HH 139 15 ° Stormo (Italy), Extra 300 Emiliano Del Buono (Switzerland), Yak 52 Gianfranco Caprai ( Italy).

The most awaited moment was obviously the one in which, thanks to the MB 339 PAN Aeronautica Militare Frecce Tricolori group, the sky between Vasto and San Salvo was filled with the colors of the Italian flag. Thousands of people present, coming from all over Italy and also from abroad. Many wanted to attend the event also to forget the tragic events of last May 31, when the Sienese pilot Marco Ricci, flight leader of an aerobatic group from Sassuolo, was killed on the coast between Alba and Tortoreto. On that occasion, the Frecce Tricolori did not perform as a result of the serious mourning. The day in Vasto was also dedicated to him, where the air show planes had performed, the last time, two years ago.
