Arrivals for the airshow, not bad, all the way from Spain to Finland! Two RF-4Cs of Escuadron 123 of Ala 12 based at Torrjeon air base. This recce Phantom was former 65-0823 (ex 192nd TRS) and delivered to Spain on 14 October 1995. It was assigned to Escuadron 123 ' mille ambulant oculus'. The venerable aircraft was withdrawn from use on 11 November 2004. It was then destined in a special colour scheme for the Museo del Aire, but is remained preserved at homebase Torejon.
