Spanish Air Force Skydivers Fly Giant Flag Over Egypt's Pyramids

Giza, Egypt – Skydivers from Spain's Air and Space Force flew a giant Spanish flag beneath a stack of linked parachutes above the Pyramids of Giza.

Footage posted by Spain's Defence Ministry on Wednesday, November 11, shows the parachutists hanging from one another under red and yellow canopies, with the flag trailing below and the pyramids in the desert far beneath them.

The jumps were made by the force's Parachute Acrobatic Patrol during an exchange with Egypt's armed forces that ran from October 31 to November 7, the Air and Space Force said. The team also trained in a wind tunnel during the visit.

"4,000 years of history at their feet," the Defence Ministry wrote. Egypt's Defence Ministry said Egyptian and Spanish paratroopers jumped over the pyramids carrying both countries' flags.
