The Ejercito del Aire (Spanish Air Force) celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Academia General del Aire (Military flight academy) on June 9-10. During the two-day-event the audiece could visit the San Javier-Murcia air base and attend an airshow over the nearby beach. Many aircraft took part in the flying display as the Spanish Eurofighter and F-18, the Patrulla Aguila and several foreign planes.
Leonardo's modern jet trainer is one of the candidates to replace the aging CASA C-101 Aviojet and F-5 Freedom Fighter. The Spanish Ministry of Defense is looking for a replacement for both aircraft and the advanced capabilities of the M-346 would allow Spain to replace the two aircraft with just one.
