To train future multi-engine pilots after their initial training, in 1982 22 Embraer Xingu training aircraft were obtained. They can be seen all over Europe when their syllabus requires long range navigational flights.

(Schiphol, May 2012, Ben Uffen)

To assist in short range, small airport VIP transport, and for calibration flights, the AdlA acquired 18 TBM-700A aircraft in 1992. Fifteen of these aircraft were modified with a Garmin1000 cockpit, from 2012 on, to be able to navigate in the European skies.

Slowly but surely the Alpha Jet are being replaced within the AdlA in their trainer role by the PC-21. Only in the Aggressor role with EE 03.008 and in the demonstration team with Patrouille de France their continuous operation seems to be certain for now.

San Javier, July 2019, José Damián González Martínez)

To replace the Alpha Jet in the advanced trainer role, 26 Pilatus PC-21 aircraft are leased from Babcock and are operational from 2019. They are based on Cognac, where also advanced simulators are located to assist in the training syllabus.

The AdlA uses the CASA CN235 to operate as an air transport for medium range or operating from austere airports or airstrips. Its ruggedness and ease of maintenance are the strong points. The homebase of CN235 is Evreux.

(Eindhoven, Maart 2015, Niels Quist)

Another sturdy aircraft operated by the AdlA is the DeHavilland Canada DHC-6. Five of these aircraft were obtained in 1976 and they still operate from many undisclosed locations, hence the inconspicuous colour scheme.

Still going strong for the AdlA C-135 fleet although the end is near. From 1964, a total of 11 C-135F and 3 KC-135R Stratotankers were obtained. In 2010, 11 C-135F were modernised with modern avionics to continue to operate in European skies and designation changed to C-135FR. In 2015, also the KC-135Rs were modified and changed to KC-135RG.

(Eindhoven, April 2015, Etienne Geluk)

To address the shortfall in air refuelling capacity, and to replace the outdated C-135 fleet, the AdlA ordered the Airbus A330MRTT Phenix tanker. The total delivery will consist of 15 aircraft of which 12 have been delivered in 2023. The last three will be delivered in 2025-2028. They are equipped with fuselage boom and underwing hose-and-drogue units.

Tranche 4 in 2009 included 60 Rafales. With the follow-on order in 2023 for 42 Rafales of the F4 variant, to be delivered in 2025, and the order for 42 -F4 more in 2023, to be delivered from 2027 on, this will lead to a total of 234 Rafales in service with the AdlA in 2030.
