The 4th, 5th and 6th of June the Aguila Patrol will celebrate its 25th
anniversary with several demonstrations.

The Academia General del Aire (the General Air Academy or AGA) will hold, on the
4th of June, an act of allegiance to the Spanish flag by the civil population
which will count with the participation of members of the Club Patrulla Águila
(Águila’s Patrol Club), coinciding with the celebration which takes place
every year at the facilities of this training centre.
Then, on the 5th of June, the same academy will celebrate an open day. It will
start at 10 am and will finish at 4.30pm, approximately.
To finalise, on the 6th of June there will be an air show which will count with
the contribution of the Spanish Air Force offering a Eurofighter, an F-18, a
Canadair known as "apagafuegos" (or fire-extinguisher), apart from the Aspa
helicopters patrol, the Patrulla Acrobática de Paracaidismo del Ejército del
Aire (Air Force Acrobat Parachuting Patrol or PAPEA) and the Águila Patrol.
Finally, it is important to remark they will count with the participation of the
Italian patrol called "Frecce Tricolori", which will show, using their steams,
the Italian flag colours all around the heavens of the Mar Menor.
The exhibition will start at 10 am and finish at 2 pm, and will take place at
the Santiago de la Ribera and Lo Pagán beaches, just facing the seafront.
