The event was hosted by the Verona Fair from January 24 to 26. In particular, those who stopped by the stand set up by the Armed Forces were able to admire the MB-339 aircraft simulator of the National Acrobatics Patrol and a 1982 Gilera 200 T4 motorcycle, restored by personnel from the 3rd Squadron of Villafranca di Verona, and also had the opportunity to meet some of the pilots of the Tricolour Arrows.
The staff of the same 3rd Stormo, qualified in the field of Meteorology and Telecommunications, also participated in the event, which prepared real-time meteorological forecasts and demonstrated a new generation satellite system that guarantees voice/data communications even in the absence of conventional communication systems, as well as a “infrared” camera that allows identifying moving objects and bodies in complete darkness, thanks to its ability to detect sources of heat.
Also present was the staff of the General Office for Communications of the Air Force Staff, who, through the projection of videos and the distribution of gadgets and posters, aroused the interest and curiosity of the public and the authorities present, as well as of the various operators and professionals in the field.
On the opening day, on behalf of the Armed Forces, Col. Marco Maistrello, Commander of the 3rd Air Wing and Air Reserve of Verona, spoke.
