Well, we may not have got much advance warning of the air show that took place in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, last Sunday morning, however, we do have photos to show you. If they give us a bit more notice next time, hopefully, we'll have more. The photo (right) is of the Patrulla Águila - Spain's answer to the Red Arrows - over Santa Cruz. There's another shot here.

There were parachutists, helicopters, rescue planes and a noisy F-18, which apparently surprised the thousands of spectators (kids, young and old) at the port in the island's capital with their perfectly synchronized show. Diario de Avisos have the story and more photos here. And La Opinión have a really great capture with this story, the caption says, "A pigeon appears to imitate the Patrulla Águila, at the exact moment that they break formation."
