Dia de Hispanidad flypast rehearsals, Thursday 10.10.24 I heard jet noise or saw aircraft over Madrid on three occasions last Thursday.

Unsurprisingly, the flypast by the Patrulla Águila and the parachute flag drop were also cancelled.

From a local news site:

“The aerial parade is canceled due to the persistent rain that falls on Madrid. On the other hand, both the passage of the Patrulla Águila and the descent of the national flag by parachute are maintained. The land parade also remains scheduled.”

Madrid, 09:25. Light rain, low clouds. The crowds thronging towards the Paseo del Prado tell me that the street parade will go on but I am not sure about the flypast

Just walk north from Atocha on C Alfonso XII till you get to the gate of the fallen virgin David (not sure if she has big .....) :) Thank you very much, Starman. Looks like you mean the gate of the fallen Angel, (Lucifer), not quite as nice as the Fallen Madonna with the Big ... ;) but in any case,...

BJE is the code of the Tigre with special tail, according to aviationlegere2larmee2terre Instagram.

EC120 (F-HBKR)1601/R is also depicted at Chartres.

Several helos and 2 PC6’s above Paris at the moment, perhaps for the rehearsal

Thank you very much, Daan

Hi All, I apologise for disturbing the neat flow of movements information with a British question. I missed the helicopters en route to the exercise & haven't been to Carlisle to see them either. I would love to see them on their way back home at the end of the exercise. Can anyone please let me...

18-03238 had this on the engine exhaust too. Looks like a skull with 2 crossed (?)tomahawks behind it. I haven't been able to link this insignia to a particular unit yet, sorry.
