They might be right, some of the fans who have sent emails about the air show of this 2011, was less public presence in the previous year, but absolutely believe that there were factors unrelated to the organizers for the attraction the bay of San Lorenzo, from other parts of Asturias turn away. And the main factor was not, in our opinion, the absence of several units of the Air Force, but the instability of time even on the same day of the demonstration aircraft in at dawn and morning clouds with the threat of permanent fans know, and most of the public begins to learn, with low clouds in the table of exercises that are forced to make the aircraft is 'flat', which are necessary to 'high ceiling' for the aircraft can climb and be seen and to see the entire circumference of the loops or to see the paratroopers out of the plane joining a star.

Low clouds are a great enemy of the air festivals. And that's what thousands of people sensed that, for example in the mining areas, where other years flock were found during the early morning hours when they had to decide to take the car, train or bus to go to Gijon, low clouds above them, dense and quite threatening rain. And who called Gijón, those first few hours, to see how it was time for the town of Jovellanos, the information they could give was that 'at present but is expected to be cloudy to clear when the Festival.' Those who took in the last part of the answer could watch a short show but full of attractive, since the participating pilots gave their best effort to please those who consider that worth it. With regard to the exhibition itself, we believe that the presence of the helicopter Fire Asturias, is more than justified because it is necessary that the citizens of this region know the aircraft and the ability of his men to handle and have the opportunity to give them the applause of our affection. Maybe throw the idea that it might be interesting to design some different exercises and trained expressly executed in these accumulations of spectators. 

The same applies to the plane of the Air Rescue Service of the Air Force, which makes a perfect demonstration, but rather by repeated boring. Only citizens can check the high-skill of our Armed Forces. Three quarters of the same for the Canadair 425 'firefighting.' As for the newcomers in Gijón, Luca Salvadori and Diana Gomes, executed their expertise and precision numbers, risking some figures. Were high (pun intended) both drivers, with a degree of difficulty for the Portuguese pilot and his plane is a biplane. We found these two short performances. Ramón Alonso, with his Sukoi 31, is a luxury in any air show, but should 'leave something for others' by that which is necessary to encourage beginners and when civilian pilots, and individual acrobatic, even good ones, come an exhibition of Ramón Alonso, they fall to the ground sunshade bats. Such is the difference between R. Alonso and the rest. The two foreign pilots, were very good, but. . . Alonso came out and they spoiled the party. But this sixth edition of the Air Festival 'City of Gijón' agueyó someone to complete the misfortune of having a 'short rack direction' had to happen at one of the planes landing Extra Patrol 300 (duo) L'Voltige, French and the Armed Forces, was hit by a reckless gull who quarantined the acrobatics of this prestigious group of aerial displays. The damage caused by that bird does not authorize aerial acrobatics before the house without manufacturer will do a check of all functions and authorize the flight. So did several passes and only one flat plane stretched toward heaven, dropped, created and performed some acrobatic solo.

 ASPA Patrol Helicopter Air Force exercise being performed very bright ratified its grip on machines so difficult to master. The Harrier II Plus was the most expected it was a novelty, a new record of other years in this kind of aircraft was represented by the F-18 and Eurofighter. It seems from the comments heard on the sand like more agility, speed and noise of the F-18 than the Harrier. To top if flight simulators Aeronautical Circle Felguera already popularized the F-18 pilot, no wonder we all have missed. 

He closed the show the PAPEA whose ten paratroopers were launched in two waves, from 8,000 feet in the first position alternating between the hare paratroopers during a fall that seemed deliberate. In the second wave, the thing was already full of emotion and admiration. Two paratroopers hooked by the 'feet' swaying in the mirror and also figure eye making a complete circle in addition to lowering the wing profile that plunged to the ground and making the drop to 200 meters to reach the intended site accurate. 

The last parachute, three, down from the start by vertical tower, one above the other and the bottom bearing the flag of Spain, 54 square meters, which makes it extremely difficult descent. And do not let go up to twelve meters before the impact on the sand and not because it was the time they wanted, but because a gust of wind burst forcing them to do to avoid be brought against the public. Finally, a VI Air Festival 'City of Gijón' grill fall short of it some of the expected participants, with performances of great merit, which was pleasing to the audience in the Bay of San Lorenzo, and the Mayor Doña Carmen and her team Moriyón Government considers should be retained as one of the main events of the summer Gijón, and improve the ideas and suggestions that experts and fans from the region to contribute and can be implemented. This intention of the Lady Mayoress already answered Jesus Fernández Aviation Circle Drive, La Felguera, and the Spaniard's Aeromodelling club Ferre, expressing their willingness to continue working and contributing ideas.
