It was 1 March 1961 when the first six F-86E "Saber" aircraft with the livery of the "Prancing Horse" patrol arrived at the Rivolto air base (Udine). The six "Sabers" came from Grosseto, today one of the bases dedicated to the defense of the Italian skies and seat of the then 4th aerobrigata, now 4th wing. Waiting for them on the ground, their first commander: Major Mario Squarcina. This is how the first cell of the "Special Acrobatic Unit", the original nucleus of the nascent Frecce Tricolori, was established.
