Official farewell ceremony for the T.10 military transport aircraft at Zaragoza Air Base. In the background, prominently displayed, is the grey fuselage of the aircraft, with some yellow details. It has high wings and two large visible propellers, one on each side. At the front, the slanted cockpit windows and the number 07 stand out. In the foreground of the image, blurred, several members of the Air Force are in formation. Most are wearing dark blue uniforms with matching caps. A person in the centre stands out, dressed in a green military uniform. Defence
