Spain Celebrates Its National Day/Our Lady of the Pillar

¡Viva Nuestra Señora del Pilar! ¡Viva España!


Como cada año, España celebra este 12 de octubre el día de la Hispanidad, un día marcado en el calendario como día festivo nacional, y que trata de conmemorar la historia milenaria del país a través de la exhibición de sus Fuerzas Armadas, en un momento particularmente delicado por la guerra desatada en Ucrania. Uno de los actos centrales de este día, es la celebración del desfile militar que volverá a recorrer el Paseo de la Castellana de Madrid, una de las calles más emblemáticas de la capital. Además de realizar un recorrido por tierra, el cielo volverá a ser otro de los escenarios por donde desfilarán los cazas pertenecientes al Ejército del Aire, integrado esta vez por 18 formaciones que engloban un total de 84 aeronaves. Aprovechando la ocasión, Aviacióndigital realizará una cobertura especial en directo comentando cada una de las formaciones con Francisco Javier Serrano Muñoz, perteneciente a la 38ª promoción del EA quién fué miembro de la Patrulla Aguila durante 3 temporadas.

As every year, Spain celebrates Hispanic Heritage Day on October 12, a day marked on the calendar as a national holiday, and which tries to commemorate the millenary history of the country through the display of its Armed Forces, at a time particularly sensitive due to the war unleashed in Ukraine.

One of the central events of this day is the celebration of the military parade that will once again tour the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, one of the most emblematic streets of the capital. In addition to making a tour over land, the sky will once again be another of the scenarios where the fighters belonging to the Air Force will parade, this time made up of 18 formations that include a total of 84 aircraft.

Taking advantage of the occasion, Aviacióndigital will carry out a special live coverage commenting on each of the formations with Francisco Javier Serrano Muñoz, belonging to the 38th promotion of EA who was a member of the Patrulla Aguila for 3 seasons.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
