The FACA programme (Future Fighter and Attack Aircraft) was once
the largest investment in armaments made in Spain. When choosing
the F-18 of McDonnell Douglas (today Boeing), the Air Force has had
since 1986 - for the first time in its history - one of the most
advanced fighter planes ever designed, with very wide possibilities
for adapting new systems throughout its operational life, as
evidenced by the Retrofit made in the early 1990s and the current
MLU. The FACA program (which ultimately remained in 72 aircraft),
followed by the CX programme (for 24 aircraft), was the most
important challenge faced by the Spanish Air Force since its
creation. The professionalism demonstrated by the commission in
charge of flight and technical evaluations won the admiration of
the countries involved in the programme. The F-18 Hornet has proven
to be the ideal aircraft for air forces in countries with large
territorial areas and wide coastlines, or extreme weather
conditions.
