About Open Day 6th Wing
Ghedi Airbase Opens to the Public
The Open Day of the 6th Wing is an event that exceptionally opens the "Luigi Olivari" Military Airbase in Ghedi (Province of Brescia) to the public, one of the most important bases of the Italian Air Force. The 6th Wing, known as the "Red Devils", is the unit that operates the modern fighter jets stationed in Ghedi, and the Open Day is one of the few opportunities to cross the base's gates.
Fighter Jets, Flyovers, and Displays
The day offers a program dedicated to military aviation:
- Static display of F-35 Lightning II and PA-200 Tornado fighter jets;
- Flyovers by the unit's aircraft;
- Accessible cockpits and educational explanations on engine operation;
- Display of other Italian Air Force aerotactical aircraft.
A Unique Experience
The Open Day of the 6th Wing is a highly anticipated event for aviation enthusiasts and families, who can get close to cutting-edge aeronautical technologies normally inaccessible. For Ghedi and the Brescia region, the event also represents a moment of connection between the military base and the local community, which has coexisted with the airport's presence for decades.
