Name: Carlos Enseñat

Favourite sunglasses: Rayban

Total # of years as ATC: 22

Hobbies: Teaching new ATCs

Real job: Rota NAS chief ATC

Torre del Mar airshow’s «mini boss», Carlos is a well established air traffic controller within the Spanish Navy. Passionate about his job and the Navy, he is one of the best representative for it. Don’t be shocked if after five minutes talking to him you find yourself enrolled as seaman under the Spanish flag! In his spare time he is a civil ATC teacher, so he is a controller through and through!

Name: Antonio Hinojosa

Favourite band: AC/DC

Total words during display: 45,000 

Hobbies: Flying… what else is there?

Real job: Safekeeping gold bars

Avid paratrike pilot, he is the voice that thousands hear when pilots or teams fly in the box. He knows all your movements, all your tricks, and what are you going to do before you do it! Beware, he might have spies everywhere… Antonio knows about aerobatics way more than any of us and  he will convey that knowledge to the public. He is, simply put, the best speaker we all could have.

Name: Mayte Acal

Favourite film: Two mules for sister Sara

Total days at sea: 466

Hobbies: Telling Americans what to do

Real job: Naval ATC *mic drop*

The actual Air Boss of the airshows is neither of the directors, but her. You flying too low? She will tell you off. Too high? Bollocking incoming… Outside the box? Just fly far away and hide or you will not hear the end of it! Jokes aside, ALWAYS pay attention to her up there; on the ground, have a chat with Mayte as she is as knowledgeable as fun to talk to!

Name: Ierai Oquiñena

Favourite travel destination: Banff, Canada

Total aircraft types worked on: 17

Hobbies: Changing nappies (sic)

Real job: Fixing what pilots break!

Fresh out of airplane fixing school, Ierai attended as a volunteer the 2009 Vigo Airshow, where he realised he REALLY liked this! With 35+ airshows under his belt, you are more likely to see him running around putting out fires or answering all your questions when Pablo is busy. He is used to work under stress, so through at him whatever you need to!
