Aviation enthusiasts and spectators alike are set for an exceptional year in 2025, as two significant airshows are scheduled to take place in Europe, each commemorating monumental anniversaries of their respective national aerobatic teams.

In a landmark transition that underscores a new era for Italy’s elite aerobatic team, the Italian Air Force Frecce has officially unveiled the state-of-the-art M-346 Advanced Jet Trainer for the Frecce Tricolori. This move marks a significant upgrade after more than four decades of service by the MB-339PAN, reversing an earlier decision to equip the squadron with the M-345 High-Efficiency Trainer.
