Unfortunately difficult to photograph well because of surrounding trees etc. This aircraft's true Spanish serial is C.5-101. It flew with the Spanish Air Force from October 1958 and was one of the last Spanish Sabres to be retired, in 1972. In 1981 it was placed on display at Manises Air Base (now Valencia Airport), and when the base was closed it was moved to its current location in Parque del Oeste.
