I am afraid you are wrong. Frecce will only perform in Volkel, Fairford and Kecskemet this year (outside Italy).

Hey guys,

I'm very sorry for my information about Frecce Tricolori.
I thought the website i noted, is the scedule of this demo team but is is not.
The right information is the information by Michel N.

Hi guys!
Thx for sharing my web page. But the page reported by gortje is only a list of international events not necessarily linked to Frecce Tricolori.
If like to know where Frecce Tricolori perform their Air Shows, please check out this page: http://www.airholic.it/air/?p=4068.

This is just to clarify. Thank you very much and please excuse me for intruding.

Hi,

I've found on: https://www.facebook.com/EuropeanAirshows?ref=stream the follow information about the Farewell F-4 on Wittmund.

"Greece will be back in 2013

The public affairs officer from the Greece Air Force said today that they will return at three different airshows this year. Radom will see the return of the Zeus F16 demoteam, Wittmund will get a F4 Phantom on static and the Airtattoo at Fairford will get an EMB145 AEW&C on static".

Dear spotters

They are surely working through it. I've got my confirmation today. I registered at Wednesday the 20th around 14:00. I've also "liked" their Facebook page. There you get some additional info. At Wittmund they seem to be in a great mood, I think they are enjoying the great interest in the Pharewell. Let's make it a feast for all, especially when it will be very busy.
