Original - The Frecce Tricolori is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Aeronautica Militare, based at Rivolto Air Force Base, in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, province of Udine. They were formed in 1961, and is made up of nine aircraft and a solo, the highest number of aircraft of any aerobatic team in the world.
Reason
I think this is a great pic for a number of reasons. The image has strong EV as the lead- it shows all ten aircraft, and they're even popping some fairly signature plumes- the Italian flag, when they themselves are part of the Italian airforce. The composition is great, the forboding sky is a nice touch, and while the quality isn't mindblowing, I think it's good enough.
