Due to the nature of my
work I would be away from home during the height of the airshow season
in Europe so I had to look for alternative options to see as much
aircraft as possible.
Before I left on my trip I
checked the internet to see if there would be any kind of event in the
vicinity of the ports I would visit. After a bit of research I found
that Patrulla Aquila was celebrating there 25th anniversary on the 5th
and 6th of june. On the 5th there would be a static show at Murcia/San
Javier and on the 6th a flying display at the nearby beach of Santiago
de la Ribera.
My Ship would be in
port during the weekend of the celebration but not very close.We arrived
on the 4th in the port of Almeria some 200 kilometres away from Murcia/San
Javier. I arranged a rental car for the weekend so I could visit the
event.
On saturdaymorning I
set off with my gear hoping to catch as many spanish aircraft as
possible.I arrived around noon and a lot of people were following my
example to have a look on base and see for themselves what it is like on
the inside of the fence. |
