Las Palmal / Gando (GCLP)

Post by GoldenEagle »

I have a little question about Gando.

Are the F18's still based there?

Yes, 462 Escuadron still operates the F/A-18A+ from Gando...Also 802 Esc is based here with some HD21s (AS332s) and 3 Cn235-100VIGMAs...The last two F27s will be retire very soon!
kind regards,
