San Javier Air Show and Patrulla Águila in Murcia 2018

This year’s event, the Festival Aéreo Internacional AGA 75 took place at San Javier’s Academia General del Aire.

As part of the celebrations to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Air Academy, visitors were invited to an open tour of the academy’s military facilities.

There were static displays relating to the Air Academy and Spanish aviation history, and visitors could see inside the different models of fighter aircraft, helicopters, and transport aircraft used by the Spanish Air Force, the “Ejército del Aire”.

Saturday’s San Javier Air Show closed with a preliminary aerial display over the beaches of Santiago de La Ribera between 17.30 and 19.30.

The annual event is truly international in nature and Saturday’s afternoon display included formation and aerobatic displays by the French precision aerobatic demonstration unit, the Patrouille Acrobatique de France, and their Italian counterpart and the Frecce Tricolori.

They performed alongside Spain’s own aerobatic display team, the Patrulla Águila, literally translated as “Eagle Patrol”.

Much loved by the nation, the Patrulla Águila aerobatic demonstration team are based at San Javier Air Base and traditionally performs at some of the country's most nationally significant events, including a breathtaking aerobatic display over the skies of Madrid each October to celebrate Spanish National Day.
