The Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire) reached the historic milestone of 50 years of service of the F-5 Freedom Fighter on Nov. 12, 2020.
The Freedom Fighter represented also a milestone for the Spanish aerospace industry as it was the first high performance aircraft built and assembled entirely in Spain. Over half a century, the Freedom Fighters flew in Spain for over 170,000 hours, contributing to the training of more than 1,000 pilots. Recently Ala 23 integrated also Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality systems in its training program to complement the advanced flight simulators already in service.
