The Spain-Latinamerica's community [http://www.vivefg.org Vive FlightGear!] recently introduced the [[CASA C-101 Aviojet]] to FlightGear hangars. The Aviojet is a two-seat military turbofan trainer, designed and built in Spain, where it's used for jet training and aerobatics in the "Patrulla Aguila" team. It's also used in other countries like Chile, Honduras and Jordan, where it can enforce a light ground-attack role. | The Spain-Latinamerica's community [http://www.vivefg.org Vive FlightGear!] recently introduced the [[CASA C-101 Aviojet]] to FlightGear hangars.
