The institutions and citizens of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in fact, are particularly proud to host the men and women of the 2nd Wing, a fundamental reality for national air defense. Over time, an indissoluble bond has been created that the Region wants to continue to nurture by supporting new projects and important celebrations that will see this strategic operational unit as the protagonist for our country”.
This was stated today in Trieste by the governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia Massimiliano Fedriga during the farewell meeting with the commander of the 2nd Wing, Colonel Paolo Rubino, accompanied by Colonel Giovanni Lodato who will soon have the task of replacing him.
