Remark Photographer
925 black The famous crash seen from the north side of the base, from the top of a 'photo bus'. The most scaring event I have ever seen during an airshow. While I took this photo the other doomed MiG flew over my head.

Those parked aircraft belong to the Spanish Air Force. They are the "Patrulla Aguila", spanish aerobatical team. I presume they were there to perform during the airshow.
