Princess Leonor has a Top Gun moment as she wears air force uniform for the first time
- On September 1, 2025, Princess Leonor, the heir apparent to the Spanish throne, commenced the final phase of her military education at the General Air Academy located in San Javier, within the Murcia region.
- She arrives after completing naval training this summer and will enter a condensed fourth-year program to prepare for flying the new Pilatus PC-21 trainer.
- Leonor will follow a rigorous schedule shared with 74 peers, including classroom instruction, flight simulators, and living in communal quarters with no special privileges.
- Her training involves at least 50 hours on simulators, advancing to instructor-led flights, with the potential for solo flight within weeks, while the academy upgrades facilities and simulators.
- This milestone continues a royal legacy, as her father King Felipe VI trained there decades ago, and Defense Minister Robles praised Leonor's dedication as an example of Armed Forces values.
