Home of the Spanish SF-5M - Talavera la Real
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2019 2:59 pm
At the beginning of February the Ejército del Aire at Talavera la Real opened up their doors for a couple of spotters days at the home of their advanced jet training wing. With a pair attending RIAT in 2015, an appearance that in my opinion was the biggest highlight from many a recent show, it was an opportunity not to miss.
Originally intended as a visit just for 4Aviation, the Spanish decided to extend this to a slightly larger group of invited spotters across a couple of days. The larger group did not detract from a fantastic visit with access to pretty much everything. The Spanish public affairs were incredibly accommodating to suggestions and then acting on the majority of them where/when they could. Their openness, management of enthusiast and hospitality was second to none, an example many PA departments could take on board for better experiences.
Anyway, here's a few shots from the visit:

Big thanks to the Spanish Air Force and 4Aviation for making it all possible.
