Incidentally (and contrary to earlier reports on this thread) the PC-21 has now been selected to replace the Alpha Jet totally, and to fully take over phase IV training, in addition to its current phase III role. French AF students will soon progress straight from the PC-21 to front line jets. A further tranche of 13 PC-21s are to be introduced.
This will mean that within a decade, the French, across all its military branches, will probably operate just one front line fighter type (the Rafale B/C/M) and one advanced trainer (the PC-21).
I wonder if the new Mustang X-Ray team are/will become the de facto replacement of Cartouche Dore?

Patrulla รguila is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Spanish Air Force. The team consists of 12 Spanish-built CASA C-101 Aviojet jet trainers however only seven of them actually fly in airshows.
The team has been using the C-101 for decades, however, with the end of the jet's operational life expected in summer 2022, the unit's activity could be compromised.
