In order to reduce interference with the airport’s commercial traffic to a minimum, the eagerly expected flight display took place before the presentation ceremony. Similar to the 2009 edition, a Eurofighter Typhoon (flown by Cdr. Marco Venanzetti) made two low passes in close formation with a Spartan demo aircraft (Cdr.s Enrico Scarabotto and Matteo Maurizio). Following this, the Typhoon and the Spartan each performed a series of low-level evolutions to the enthusiastic appreciation of the crowd.
