The Frecce Tricolori is Italy's premier tim of acrobatic pilots, part of the Italian air force.

They perform more intricate acrobatics during air shows.

In 1988, three aircraft of the Frecce Tricolori collided and crashed to the ground during an air show at Ramstein Air Base in Germany attended by around 300,000 people. The three pilots and 67 people on the ground died. Hundreds more suffered injuries.
