Patrulla Àguila 40 anniversary show

Post by st24 »

14-15 June :sweat_smile: at San Javier. Given the base is pretty much in the sea, presume a beach front bash??
Be nice to see a full Spanish show, one to look put for, I think...

It would be nice to see Harrier solo, duo or whatever flying display. :)

The show will be held at the beach front of Santiago de la Ribera, which is just off base.
Apparently crowd is expected to be around 500.000.
So it will be crowded

I was all in until I read that line. Still one to keep watching though.

Yeah I was just reading this thinking, a nice summer break (easier to convince the misses) but that is a crowd and a half if true !

40 years - isn't that the approximate length of their display? Or just how it feels?

My understanding is the Saturday would be an open door on base (including static display and rehearsal displays) and then the main flying display over the beach on Sunday. That said, that was briefed before Christmas so things may have changed.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

Might be one to keep an eye on, who knows what could be on the cards.

I assume south rwy will be in use all the time. That means Sun-facing whole day both on Saturday (airport) and Sunday (beach program)...

Isn't there a camp site and beach access though on the South side??

There is some camp site, beach as part of it and street to that place.
That's the only way to have Sun behind spotters at airport place. But! It's on the west end of south rwy. "Not great, not terrible" situation.

I was in that area last week. Interested although a long way to go and flights already expensive; to see displays I've already seen in the UK...

Will keep an eye on it
