On March 26, 2009, the King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, paid his third visit to the Spanish Air Force Helicopter School at the Armilla Air Base in the province of Granada, where his son, Prince Felipe, trained to be a helicopter pilot. The King of Spain, who has 4,000 hours’ worth of flight experience piloting Puma, Super Puma and Cougar helicopters, flew himself to the base in an AS532 Cougar, which has a VIP configuration and belongs to the Spanish Air Force. His Majesty then flew over Granada for 15 minutes in an EC120 B Colibri—just enough time to appreciate the flight handling qualities of the lightest helicopter in the Eurocopter range. The ASPA aerobatic team, which has five EC120 B Colibris, then performed an aerobatic display to celebrate the visit of the Spanish Head of State.
