Retired Spanish Falcons arrive at new homes

摘要

The last two Spanish Air Force 'VIP' Dassault Falcon 20s have recently been transported to two aviation technical schools. The aircraft have been in storage at Torrejon Air Base, Madrid, since being withdrawn from use with 47 Grupo in November 2015. Falcon 20D TM.11-2/47- 22 was moved by truck to CIFP As Mercedes at Lugo in northwest Spain at the end of 2020, while Falcon 20E TM.11-1/47-21 arrived at CEFAAL Aguas Nuevas in Albacete on February 2. Both aircraft entered air force service in the 1970s as VIP transports with Torrejon-based 45 Grupo. Following modifications, they ended their careers performing flight inspection services with 47 Grupo. A third former military Falcon, the grey-painted TM.11-4/472-04, was received at Cuatro Vientos Air Base in January, prior to delivery to the Spanish Air Force Museum where it will be put on static display.
