The applauded exhibition of a Harrier II of the Spanish Navy in the United Kingdom<\/a><\/rel>
\nWhat will happen to the red and yellow roundels if Spain decides to buy the F-35?<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

This edition of the famous British air festival, one of the largest in the world, has had another moment that has generated great expectation and that has also had the presence of the Spanish Navy: the flight of an EAB-8B+ Harrier II Spanish Plus from the 9th Squadron next to a British Royal Air Force (RAF) F-35B fighter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The protagonists of this fabulous picture, very rare to see, were the Spanish Harrier II VA.18-6<\/strong>, the same one we saw in its applauded exhibition this Friday, and the F-35B ZM154 of the 207 Squadron RAF<\/strong>, a unit older than the air force to which it belongs and which started its journey on December 31, 2016 as part of the Royal Navy Air Service (RNAS)<\/strong>, being transferred to the RAF the same day it was founded, on April 1, 1918.<\/p>\n

Tonkatsu298<\/a> has published an excellent video in 4K quality of this joint exhibition<\/strong> between the Spanish Harrier II and the British F-35B:<\/p>\n
