Three F-5Ms taxi to the runway at Torrejon Air Base near Madrid to take part in a flypast. Equipped with modern avionics, the F-5M is a capable aircraft for students to fly and transition to combat units.

This experimental colour scheme was applied to F-5 AE9-027 in 2007, probably to simulate the profile of an F-18 Hornet during an air defence exercise. The scheme was soon abandoned.

Training missions flown by Ala 23 from Talavera last a little over an hour, although air-to-air sorties are shorter due to the greater use of afterburner during manoeuvring.

The last phase of fighter pilot training at Talavera is usually dedicated to air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.

An F-5M from the Ala 23 returns to Talavera following an air-to-air mission with a Eurofighter from Ala 11 at Moron.

Talavera Air Base shares its runway with a civilian airport.

F-5B serial number AE9-10 was the prototype for a structural modernisation programme undertaken by Israel Aircraft Industries and CASA. It is shown returning from its first test flight, having yet to receive a grey paint scheme.

Exchanges and exercises with the Royal Moroccan Air Force take place every year. An F-5M waits at the runway threshold along with a Moroccan F-5E during Exercise NAVIMAES.

Students undertake a minimum of 36 hours in this simulator during the fighter course.
