Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Last Spanish Eurofighter Typhoon (by the moment?)

Post by joseluiscel »

Last of the production spanish Typhoon has been seen doing acceptance flights at Getafe factory and airbase (LEGT) so in a short time will be delivered to Ala 14 in Albacete (LEAB). Now everyone is waiting for a follow on contract for additional Typhoons, otherwise the assembly line will be closed. Fingers crossed!

With 78 units produced (3 of them lost) I understand it's enough planes to completely form 4 squadrons (2 at Morón and 2 at Albacete) and leave a couple of them for test and develop. In fact all four squadrons are in service. Waiting for a possible add-on order to begin replacing older Hornets.
