The operations area will be called “Fancy” and will be extends from the ground to FL80. The activities will take place within Rome FIR and in international waters.

At the moment there are no US aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean. Probably the carrier will be an Italian unit, the Garibaldi (C 551) and / or the Cavour (C 550).

Already in the past days the Italian Harriers have moved to the Sigonella base for joint activity with US aircraft.
