El Ejército del Aire - Spanish Equivalent to Red Arrows

When we were last in Spain we were fortunate to be at the Mar Menor when  El Ejército del Aire were practicing. It provided us with a wonderful cabaret over lunch!

Anyway, I'm trying to find out whether they have a schedule for practices as my son will be over from 25th - 31st July and would love to be able to tell him what day/s to be there to see it for himself.

If anyone has any information, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks

Irene

Hi Irene,

Just been Googling, as I do lots, & saw this. Photos are incredible. http://www.ejvk.com/Aguila/index.htm

Also there's a forum your son could join & ask about them. http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/257649/page/vc/vc/1

Thanks for the info. That is pretty much what we saw - what a fantastic cabaret over lunch!

Still would like to hear from anyone who knows more about when they practice though

thanks

Irene

Hi Milli

Thanks for that information. Can you be a little more specific - every morning at roughly what time? The practice only lasts for about half an hour or so and I really do want my grandson to be able to see this!!!

Many thanks

Hi Irene

Have been googling ever since seeing your question - still haven't come up with an answer unfortunately . I,ve got as far as finding out that the aerobatic team are called Patrulla Aguila (Eagle Patrol) & they have their own website www.patrullaaguila.com . Have seen them practising over the Mar Menor many times - fab free airshow!!  Will keep looking.

Hi Annie

Thanks for looking. I won't distract you as I hope you'll find some more information!!!

What a nice lot you are on EOS!
