A 1972 demonstration aboard the carrier Dédalo off Barcelona won over the Spanish Navy, whose first Harrier unit, the 8ª Escuadrilla, formed with AV-8S Matadors on 29 September 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 9ª Escuadrilla followed, activated on 29 September 1987, and its first three AV-8Bs flew direct from the United States to Rota that October. Eight Harrier II Plus jets, assembled by CASA in Seville in 1996 and 1997, added the APG-65 radar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2026 the squadron's twelve AV-8B+ and one two-seat TAV-8B fly from Rota and embark in the assault ship Juan Carlos I.
