Foreign Military Sales BuNo 152153 was delivered to Spain as P.3A-01 on 25 July 1973. It served from the beginning 221 Esc as code 221-20 up to late 1986. Became code 22-21 with Grupo 22. The Orion was upgraded with CASA EADS from late 2010 and returned to service in late 2013 or early 2014. The Maritime Patrol Aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Cuatro Vientos from 14 November 2017. It is most probably awaiting preservation at Maestranza museum.
