All Spanish Airforce helicopters in the air at once

[rogerk]

Last Sunday 22 Nov 2009 at 1730 I was leaving Malaga Airport heading west when a couple of Puma's appeared over the mountains.

Followed by ten more, then fifteen Gazelles then ten or fifteen other assorted helicopters !!

Anyone any idea why the Spanish Airforce had all this lot airborne in one go ??

... and before you ask - no I hadn't been on the San Miq !!

We don't have Gazelles in the spanish army. Pumas, Cougars, Chinooks, EC120's, Tigres ...maybe

Probably it was a joint exercise with other NATO members.

Gazelles are from French army or UK...
