Aerobatics display wows residents
Leonardo’s M-346 is the most advanced jet trainer aircraft available on the market and the only one specifically designed to prepare pilots for new generation aircraft, while the Eurofighter Typhoon is the latest generation, multi-role fighter with the largest number of orders, aircraft delivered and flight hours worldwide.
“We are proud that Leonardo’s M-346 advanced jet trainer, the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the Italian aerobatic team will represent aeronautics excellence - the same excellence we, as Leonardo, provide here in Qatar through our products and capabilities,” Leonardo general manager in Qatar Valerio Stella told Gulf Times.
Salzano added: “The breathtaking aircraft stunts highlight the extraordinary ability of the Italian pilots, their unique expertise, and their advanced skills. They are the symbol of the Italian excellence in the field of defence and confirm Italy’s top position at the forefront of aeronautical technology.
“Qatar deserves the best and Italy wants to bring here the best of its traditions, trainers and technology. Bringing Frecce Tricolori to Doha on the occasion of Italian Armed Forces Day, which falls on November 4 but will be officially celebrated on November 10, is Italy’s ‘thank you’ and ‘gift’ to honour the successful partnership with Qatar and Qatar Armed Forces.”
