In January 1996 8 EAV-8B+ were delivered to the Spanish Navy. These aircraft were assigned to the 009 Escuadrilla in a fighter attack role. EAV-8B had a previous serial of 165028 and c/n E13/SP-01. Before 2003 these aircraft only displayed individual codes but from then on displayed aircraft serials. For the 2019 RIAT (Royal International Air Tattoo) EAV-8B VA.1B-24 from the NAS Rota was one of two aircraft attending. The aircraft carried a special tail scheme composed of the Spanish national colors, AIR TATTOO with a cobra sitting on top.
