The first Spanish production Eurofighter Tifón to fly was ''CE.16-01'' (ST001) on 17 February 2003, flying from [[Getafe Air Base]].<ref name="ST001" /> The Spanish Air and Space Force assigned their Typhoons to QRA responsibilities in July 2008.<ref name="QRA" />

On 7 August 2018, a Spanish Air and Space Force Typhoon, on a training exercise near [[Otepää]] in Estonia, released an AMRAAM missile by mistake. There were no casualties, but the ten-day search operation for missile remains was unsuccessful and the status of the missile is unknown, whether it self-destructed in the air or landed unexploded and left a hazardous situation for the public. The pilot was disciplined for negligence, but received only the minimum penalty in the light of undisclosed mitigating circumstances.<ref name="SPAEST" />
