:cry: damn the spanish! the spanish themselves have eurofighters and they always fly. and we've never seen an EF, the raf could at least spare and come here

Adrian, you're being quite simplistic. Do you think that sending planes for airshows is something like Tista Tkun Int? Air Forces select their particilation by evaluating the various economic, social and political ties between the two countries. For example, when the RAF had an idea that the AFM wanted to buy some Bulldogs, they even sent us the Bulldog official display aircraft. Most of the Eurofighter is built in the UK and Spain is a major customer. Spain is also a NATO member and it usually reciprocates by sending quite a few aircraft to RAF airshows. So, it is quite easy for Spain to get the Eurofighter.
