LIPI - Rivolto Air Base
The military airport of Rivolto has a very long history that goes back to the beginnings of aerial acrobatics. It is the place that, in March 1961, welcomed the first pilots of the Frecce Tricolori and is now inextricably linked to the name of the National Acrobatic Patrol (PAN). Today it is also the seat of the 2nd Stormo and is certainly one of the most known and visited places in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The men who work there are constantly engaged in making it better and more hospi... The military airport of Rivolto has a very long history that goes back to the beginnings of aerial acrobatics.

The air base of Rivolto is undergoing major changes, including the new runway, which has replaced an old taxiway; we hope to have rebuilt the base as it is or will be soon; if we have uncertainties result from the fact that even the images of Google Earth are still up to date and that the military authorities do not give information; what we reconstructed comes from information from third parties non-military.
