| The AV-8B II + is the second generation of Harriers. Using its VSTOL (Vertical and Short Take Off Landing) abilities the Harrier is capable of using almost any surface to attack and destroy air or ground targets. Armed with conventional or specific weapons the AV- 8B II + can be used in offensive or defensive roles. Now with air-borne radar the AV-8B II + can deliver its ordnance day or night. The AV-8B II + can be air refueled allowing it to be deployed for extended periods. In 1996 the Spanish Navy (Armada Española) received 8 new EAV-8B+ known as “Matador II+” in Spain. These are the Spanish version of the Harrier II Plus. The Matador II+’s were assembled in Spain by CASA and assigned to 9 Escuadrilla of the Aircraft Fleet of the Spanish Navy based in Rota (Cadiz) and operate from the aircraft carrier R11 “Príncipe de Asturias”. These aircraft are used in a fighter attack role. Matador II+ VA.1B-25 was built as Serial #165029 build # E14/SP-02 and given the ID 01-915. In 2003 serial numbers also began to be marked on the aircraft as well as the individual aircraft codes. |
