10 YEARS WITHOUT MIRAGE F-1 IN SPAIN

The Dassault Mirage F-1 was the backbone of the Spanish Air Force fighter force during a good number of years, flying in three different fighter wings at Manises, Gando and Los Llanos. However 14th Fighter Wing at Los Llanos in Albacete, was the first and last unit flying the french made fighter over Spain, retiring its remaining Mirages in the summer of 2013 to be sold to an American private company which is using them nowadays as adversary support for different military braches of the United States. The pictures and videos that can be seen in this web were taken in 2010 and 2011, when the 14th Fighter Wing 141 & 142 Fighter squadrons were still flying the F-1M at full swing.
