Murcia Says Goodbye to Patrulla Águila After 40 Years of Aerial Acrobatics

Murcia bids farewell to the Patrulla Águila aerobatic team after 40 years of breathtaking aerial displays. The Aire25 air show in San Javier served as the stage for the team's final performance, marking the end of an era for the iconic C-101 aircraft. The Patrulla Águila, comprised of pilots from the General Air and Space Academy (AGA), has captivated audiences for four decades with their stunning aerial maneuvers. "It's a bittersweet moment," said a member of the Patrulla Águila. "We're proud of our legacy, but also excited for the future." The team's legacy will continue with the introduction of the Swiss-made Pilatus P-21 aircraft, which will take over as the "Formación Mirlo." The transition symbolizes the evolution of Spanish aviation, ensuring the continuation of the nation's proud air show tradition. The event drew thousands of spectators, creating a memorable atmosphere of celebration and nostalgia.
