The Italian Air Force"s Frecce Tricolori acrobat team was established in 1961. Currently the team flies 10 Italian made, Armacchi MB 339A/PAN jets. Unique to the Frecce Tricolori, it is the only acrobat team that flies 9 planes in formation and 1 plane specifically solo. By flying only one plane solo, rather than having various planes perform solo, the Frecce Tricolori is able to add more flexibility to their program and also fly tighter formations than any other team. The dynamism of the single solo maneuvers are captured by 3 cameras placed strategically throughout the cockpit.
