Operational history
Although the first flight took place on 27 June 1977,[1][11] the test flight phase, which included vibration, flutter and spin tests, did not commence until 17 April 1978.[12] The prototype was flown in the Farnborough International Airshow during late July 1978. Performance was reportedly found to be better than anticipated by the designers.[citation needed] An initial order for 88 aircraft was placed by the Spanish Air Force; built as a dedicated trainer version, designated as C-101EB-01 by CASA and E.25 Mirlo ("Blackbird") by the air force.[11] On 17 March 1980, the first aircraft entered service with the Spanish Air Force
