Carmen Gómez Hurtado is a first corporal, a member of the Air Force Acrobatic Patrol. She has 2,700 jumps to her credit and because of her experience yesterday she made history in Grenada by becoming the first soldier to carry the national flag during a parade of the Armed Forces.
However, this soldier with an Andalusian accent and fast speech detracts from her feat: "I am here because of my experience, not because I am a woman, I have jumped the flag many times in other types of exhibitions," she explained in a telephone conversation with EL MUNDO barely an hour after landing with the 54 square meter and 12 kilogram flag with which she descended from the sky guided by Corporal Óscar García, her partner in PAPEA, her partner and the father of her daughter. And certainly Gómez has earned the position, because when he arrived at PAPEA he had to pass a test with 11 other applicants. Already in the first round there were three boys and she, the only woman who is currently in the Patrol, although there were others.
