My assumption is that since this is during the work week and that a full aerobatic box would require the evacuation of the factories just east of 18/36, EAA won't press their luck and ask them to shut down those afternoons as well since they are already asking them to shutdown during the weekend to allow the Snowbirds to perform their full show. Plus the press release mentions this:Adam wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:41 pmThis sounds like a brief non-aerobatic display to me. Not least because the press release says they will arrive and display on the Tuesday. I've never known the Frecce Tricolori forgo a recce and practice the day prior to an actual aerobatic performance.EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (January 31, 2024) — The Frecce Tricolori, the military aerobatic team representing the Italian Air Force (ITAF), will be making its first Oshkosh appearance since 1986 when it arrives to participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. The 71st edition of the Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention is July 22-28 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.
Frecce Tricolori – which translates to “Tricolor Arrows” in English – will arrive at Oshkosh on Tuesday, July 23, and is scheduled to participate as part of the afternoon air show. Its aerial demonstrations at AirVenture will be a modified display featuring tight fly-by formations and colorful smoke trails in the team’s Aermacchi MB-339PAN trainer jets.
So coupling that with an earlier military jet related press release this seems to be how the week is shaping up:Its aerial demonstrations at AirVenture will be a modified display featuring tight fly-by formations and colorful smoke trails in the team’s Aermacchi MB-339PAN trainer jets.
