Last month the Spanish Airforce (Ejército del Aire/EdA) celebrated 20 years since the deployment of the F/A-18 Hornet in Gando, Canary Islands, where they replaced Mirage F1 in Ala 46 (Wing 46). These photos were published in the EdA Facebook account.
The Hornets deployed in Gando are the oldest in the fleet, having been acquired second from the US in the 90s. Currently the Spanish government is looking at a replacement, which will more likely newly built EF-2000 to be acquired under project "Halcón".
