If you happened to be on the beach or patio lounging last night (July 16) near English Bay or Vancouver Harbour, there’s a good chance you saw the Frecce Tricolori performing an air show.
Jets flew through the air, leaving a trail of colourful smoke resembling the Italian flag across our sunny blue sky. The Frecce Tricolori is the aerobatic demo team of the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) and is the world’s largest acrobatic patrol. Despite the airshow being planned in advance, the City of Vancouver and the Parks Board didn’t give any heads-up on social media, causing some confusion among locals who had no clue what was going on.
