Mcdonnell Douglas AV-8 Harrier
The CASA C-101 Aviojet is a Spanish jet trainer that also served in a light-attack role. It became internationally recognisable as the aircraft of Patrulla Águila, Spain’s national aerobatic display team, where its smoke trails and swept wing are familiar at European airshows. The compact jet was built by CASA in Seville and trained generations of Spanish pilots. Its retirement from Spanish service after more than four decades marked the end of a rare domestically produced European trainer line.
