On Saturday, June 14, San Javier Air Base will host the Aire25 celebration to commemorate the Eagle Patrol’s 40th anniversary.
On this particular day, guests will be able to view a static display of over 30 national and international military and civilian aircraft. Some of the planes will be accessible to the public.
You’ll also have two entertainment zones with bars for food and drinks, food trucks, restrooms, misting systems, rest and shade places, merchandise stands, a tattoo truck, and a Mirage F1 simulator.
Don’t pass up the opportunity to attend Spain’s greatest airshow!
Two C-101 Eagle Patrol aircraft will meet you at the park’s gate, symbolically flanking it. One has a rudder marking the patrol’s 40th anniversary, while the other celebrates its 25th anniversary. Your journey will begin with this iconic image.
After the sombre aerial portal, you will enter the area of historical aircraft, guarded by our country’s leading aeronautical foundations. These organisations have loaned genuine aircraft treasures spanning over a century of history, including the T-6, Texan, Sabre, and Bücker. This is a unique opportunity to witness these aircraft up close.
Along the route, there are two fully prepared rest places built for a relaxing day out: food trucks and a bar where you may eat and drink all day. There are shaded spots, benches, and areas to relax and rejuvenate. Both sites feature portable toilets. Red Cross medical care is always available.
In Leisure Area 2, you can also play the Mirage F1 cockpit simulator. These are your logistical hubs; relax, recharge, and keep exploring.
After the first leisure area, the scream of technology will greet you: helicopters like the CH-47 Chinook and Tiger will share rooms with the most remarkable fighters: the Eurofighter Typhoon, the F-18, the Belgian F-16, and the Navy’s AV-8B Harrier.
The tour concludes with a big cargo aircraft, the A400M Atlas, Europe’s logistical powerhouse. The C-295 represents pure tactical adaptability. The CN-235 is a symbol of Spain’s international presence. The C-295 is a formidable piece of equipment, ready to tackle any task.
