About This Installation
Spanish Air Force Ala 46 base on Gran Canaria, operating F-18 Hornet in the air defense role and providing QRA coverage over the eastern Atlantic and Spanish EEZ off West Africa. The Canaries' strategic position between Europe, Africa, and the Americas makes Gando a key Spanish sovereignty and maritime surveillance installation.
