Cr@p movie, great flying scenes
While traveling and checking in late the other night, I came in about 1/2 hour into an Italian filmed dubbed into English.
Story essentially revolved about the Italian aerial demo team trying to beat their arch-rivals, the Red Arrows for possession of a Flying Cup.
Said Italians racked their brains trying to think up a maneuver that would out-do *gasp* the line-abreast in-place roll that the Red Arrows performed. Of course, the French at these competitions were just there.....
During their off-time, our fun loving Italian jet pilots cavorted with really lovely, albeit incredibly dim, lovelies and drove fast in wonderful sport cars.
Finally, after getting the idea from a roll in the hay, our (of course!) good looking junior wingman convinces the crusty squadron leader that a (OMG!) wingover is just the thing to beat the RAF and restore Italia's honor.
But the scenes of G-91s, Magisters, and Gnats were great to watch. Guessing a late 1960s-early 1970s time frame?
Anyone able to place the movie title? Google didn't find it using any search criteria I came up with and no, I didn't think to check the TV listings.

They were not known as the 'Tricci Freccolori' for nothing you know

What sort of roll was it? 'Li-on-a-breast' sounds like a starter - yes, I know.
