This highly popular yearly event has come around again and will be held on the 17th of June on Playa Granada, Motril.
The star attraction this year is the French air force (Armée de l’Air), acrobatics display team, Cartouche Dore, which was formed in April 1989.
The display team consists of three Socata TB-30 Epsilon aircraft and a sprinkling of lunatic Frenchmen.
On previous occasions this air display has drawn crowds of up to 10,000 spectators.
Last year apart from all the aircraft; fixed wing and rotary, there was also a sea-rescue exercise just off the beach.
The location is easy to find, as all you have to do is take the port road, either from the junction where it passes under the N-340, or alternatively, from the Granada N-340 junction, which also leads down to the port, directly or via the golf course. Whichever route you decide to take, make sure that you get their early if you want to park.
Finally, you can always email the organizers for more details at motrilairshow@gmail.com. Don’t worry; if they like aeroplanes, then they’ll speak English.
