![]() More than 300,000 people they visited the Aviation school (A.G.A.) in which was going to be the prelude of the great festival, the best aerial festival at European level. The air base of San Javier opened its doors on Saturday 3 of June about the nine with a great static exhibition of airplanes in the morning. Fighters like the F-16, F15 and Eurofighter, the AWACS of NATO, next to historical airplanes as the Saeta or the Bücker small plane of training could be admired in earth. The entrance from people to the Aviation School (A.G.A.) was endless.The second day of the festival Aire 06 was what everybody hoped: a massive affluence of people was present at from San Javier to Lo Pagán the acrobatics of more than 80 airplanes. Prince Felipe made formal appearance in the exhibition next to the minister of Defense, Jose Antonio Alonso. Both arrived at the Casino de Suboficiales in a boat from A.G.A. Everything very millimetrically was organized. To emphasize the work of the personnel and Air Force of the A.G.A. The Patrulla Águila taught its aerial spectacle again to us. Perhaps because the Murcian already have seen them in repeated occasions the generalized opinion is that they are just a little bit less attractive than the rest of patrols, without they stop being one of the best ones of the world. To emphasize the incredible improvement of the Swiss, although most spectacular of the patrols, with ten airplanes in its formation, they were the Frecce Tricolori Italian. What we can say of this patrol with years of experience and that they give a brilliance to the spectacle there where they go. ![]() First which we could see in the sky of the Mar Menor was a Canadair of Ejército del Aire, airplane pertaining to the 43 group of Air Force, loading 12,000 liters of water of the Mar Menor. A Czech helicopter Mil-MI-24 made the delights of the presents, “like the one of Rambo…” people commented, and are that the Czech airplane was not for less. Historical airplanes as the T6 or the Saeta demonstrated that the years are not an impediment, whereas a Boeing 707 AWACS with its great radomo passed to few meters of the water showing the public the airplane used for monitoring from the air. The public which really wished was noise everywhere and there in Aire 06 they were Mirage-2000, fighter and attacks French; the incredible Dutch F-16, an airplane of prettiest and than by national territory is not let see much (Spain does not have this airplane); the airplane of completes European generation Eurofighter substitute of Mirage-F1 and, later, of the F-18 Spanish; the tail sitter pertaining to Spanish Navy (aircraft carrier Príncipe de Asturias) AV-8B Harrier; Mirage-F1 from Albacete and, finally, the fighter bomber F-18 Hornet of group 15 of FF.AA destined in Aerial Base of Zaragoza.We also enjoyed very many seeing the maneuverability of which a helicopter is able and of it they were in charge to show it different flights of helicopters to us like the Rotors of Portugal, which they were incredible, and the Patrol Vane applauded and vitoreados by the attending public. Special mention for two patrols, the first patrol the Flying Bulls of the equipment Red Bull with a woman like leader of the patrol, and the second mention for the Royal Falcons of Jordan by the enormous effort and travels made to show to us of which they are able with helix small planes. ![]() From animating here that festivales like these, even with the concerted effort that entails, to take control of more periocidad (at the moment it will be celebrated every four years) and mainly to thank to Ejercito del Aire for supported to the press and for the excellent made festival. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
