Torrejón 2024

Currently they have one of these horrible Turkish jet trainers here for testing (sorry forgot the name but it's red and carries serial 24-001).

Spain is considering a deal that consists of 6 A400Ms going there and 24 of those coming over to replace the remaining F-5's at Talavera. Hopefully the deal will fall through cause boy, what an ugly-ass piece of work it is.. Pardon my French!

It’s the Hürjet. But I think you rather call it whore-jet…

[SquAdmin]

How many F-5's does Spain still operate?

[Trabanti]

About 17 AFAIK

Hi all,

On October 11th, we read the following helicopters near the Guardia Civil hangar:
HU.15-63/(09-124) Bo105
HU.15-85/(09-113) Bo105
HU.15-86/(09-114) Bo105
HU.22-1/(09-201) MBB-BK117
HU.22-04/(09-)204 MBB-BK117
HU.26-18/(09-312) EC135
Also present were another BK117, and another Bo105 read off as HU.15-62 which is not correct. Is this actually the -67? Could anyone confirm? Any help with the missing MBB-BK117 is also appreciated!

Regards,
Joris

To answer my own question: A message on X dated 1 June 2024 mentions two additional aircraft stored at Torrejón being Bo105 HU.15-67/09-126 and MBB-BK117 HU.22-07/09-233. So these are the most likely candidates.
