As shown by the badge on the tailfin, this is one of four Spanish Typhoons flown around the world in deployment Pacific Skies in 2024. Twelve Tornados and eight Typhoons from Germany, plus four Rafales from France also made the circumnavigation, with seven A330s and nine A400Ms from the three countries providing support. C.16-59 also wears a badge for the 40th anniversary of Spain as a NATO member in 2022.

Ala 14 is one of Spain's combat wings, flying the Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon (or Tifón in Spanish) from Albacete since 2013. The wing was founded in 1974 and previously flew the Mirage F1. Albacete is home of NATO's Tactical Leadership Programme (TLP), and during one of these exercises these brand new and still uncoded EF2-000s were photographed returning from their mission.
