After more than 35 years in service with the Ejercito del Aire (Spanish Air Force), the operational service of the Dassault Mirage F1 was due to end on June 23 with a retirement ceremony at Albacete-Los Llanos AB. Eight of the aircraft (seven F1 Ms and one two-seat F1BM) remained in service with 141 Escuadron of Ala 14 at the base. Known as the 'La Abuela' (the grandma) to its pilots and designated the C.14 by the air force, the F1 entered service in 1975 and has been flown by Ala 11 at Manises in Valencia, Ala 14 at Albacete and Ala 46 at Gando on Gran Canaria. Spain acquired 45 F1CEs, six F1BEs and 24 F1EEs from the manufacturer, one F1B and four F1Cs from France and two FIDDAs and ten FIEDAs from Qatar, while an additional F1 EDA was lost prior to delivery. A total of 55 were upgraded as F1 M/BMs by 2002 with improved systems.
