It has now been confirmed that 10 units will be taking part in the flying displays. These are the host Patrulla Águilas, the Red Arrows, the Patrouille de France, the Patrouille Suisse, Asas de Portugal, the Royal Jordanian Falcons, the USAF F15 Demo Team, the Flying Bulls, PAPEA and Patrulla Aspa. There will also be solo displays by the F16 Solo Display Team, Mirage 2000, Eurofighter, F18, Mirage F1, and the AV-8B of the Spanish Navy. There will also be a display of in-flight refueling, of a rescue operation and a parachute display. Historic aircraft that will be seen in the air include a Bücker, a Saeta and a T6. There will also be plenty to see on the ground, with aircraft, equipment and other attractions being on show on the new runway at San Javier airport.
Visitors will be able to take photographs, inspect the aircraft, and chat with crew. Souvenirs will also be available. Parking areas are to be established from which buses will transfer visitors to the static displays. The zones from which the air displays can be watched on Sunday, June 4, have been identified and these are the beaches to the north of the air base and La Ribera up to Lo Pagán. Again, parking areas will be established with bus transfers to the beaches.
With up to a quarter of a million spectators expected logistics are, obviously, be very important. The flying displays will take place from 10am onwards on Sunday 4th June and they are expected to last for seven or eight hours.
Pity the girls are coming the week after because we could have taken them there. On second thoughts though, the shops in Elche would have a far greater appeal.
