I have been receiving more pictures about the first GEA Reunion held in Cervia on Oct. 4. The following ones were provided by Matteo Marianeschi; noteworthy the image depicting the 9 ship formation being chased by the F-16B camera ship with the photographer of the Troupe Azzurra of the Aeronautica Militare in the back seat.
Pierpaolo Maglio that had already provided some interesting images of the air display, sent me other pictures and also a few images of the static display.
