road from Colmenar Viejo to Guadalix de la Sierra about 31 km north of the Puerta del Sol, is where Spain&rsquo;s army aviation began and where it is still run from. The Aviaci&#243;n Ligera del Ej&#233;rcito de Tierra was created on 10 July 1965 for the Brunete Armoured Division; its base, first called Los Remedios, opened in 1966 &mdash; on 27 May according to Spanish Wikipedia, while the Army dates the raising of the flag to 29 June. The first two Bell UH-1B Iroquois landed on 29 July 1966.<\/p>\n<p>The base now carries the name of Colonel &#193;ngel Mat&#233; S&#225;nchez, who led the force when it became the Fuerzas Aerom&#243;viles del Ej&#233;rcito de Tierra (FAMET) on 20 March 1973 and died with six others when a helicopter hit cables near the base during night training on 20 April 1977. The date of the renaming was not found in the sources used here.<\/p>\n<p>Today it holds the FAMET headquarters and headquarters battalion, the Chinook battalion BHELTRA V with 17 CH-47Fs, the logistic group, the helicopter maintenance park and the Army aviation academy (ACAVIET), which trains the Army&rsquo;s helicopter pilots on the EC135. The light subgroup of the emergency battalion BHELEME II is also here.<\/p>\n<p>The base is a military heliport that is not in the civil AIP Espa&#241;a, so no official coordinates, elevation or landing-area data are given; the ICAO code LECV comes from English Wikipedia and is unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Colmenar Viejo Army Helicopter Base from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Colmenar Viejo Army Helicopter Base seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>No runway dimensions are recorded for this airfield.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Colmenar Viejo Army Helicopter Base seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-3.80728,40.68180,-3.71924,40.71280\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-3.80465,40.67638,-3.72187,40.71822\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-3.78370,40.68180,-3.74282,40.71280\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Colmenar Viejo Army Helicopter Base in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Location &amp;

In 1958, according to Spanish Wikipedia, it bought Bird Dogs and a few helicopters only to see the Air Force operate them. The break came on 10 July 1965, when General Instruction 165\/142 of the Central General Staff created a light aviation unit for the Brunete Armoured Division. It needed a home near Madrid and near the division, and found it at Los Remedios, just outside Colmenar Viejo on the road to Guadalix de la Sierra.<\/p>\n<p>The dates of the opening differ. Spanish Wikipedia, drawing on the old FAMET history, says the first Army helicopter base was inaugurated on 27 May 1966; the Army&rsquo;s own page says the national flag was raised at Los Remedios on 29 June 1966. The first aircraft are not in doubt: two Bell UH-1B Iroquois, ET-201 and ET-206, landed on 29 July 1966, and four more followed on 11 August.<\/p>\n<p>The new force paid early for its learning. On 28 December 1966 a UH-1B struck a high-tension line and crashed, killing a general, a lieutenant colonel, a captain and a sergeant. Within seven years Los Remedios had grown from a single light aviation unit into the headquarters of the Fuerzas Aerom&#243;viles del Ej&#233;rcito de Tierra, the name adopted on 20 March 1973.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>Colonel Mat&#233; and the night of 20 April 1977<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Colonel &#193;ngel Mat&#233; S&#225;nchez commanded the force when it became FAMET in 1973. On 20 April 1977 helicopter ET-241, on a night training flight, struck cables close to the base at Los Remedios. Spanish Wikipedia lists seven dead: the colonel, Captains Jos&#233; Mart&#237;nez Abad&#237;a and Casimiro Lorente Solanas, Lieutenant Colonel Michel Force, Patric Etienne, Jean Marie Uhe and Jos&#233; Luis Palomo. The sources used here do not say who the three men with French names were or why they were aboard, and the cause is not given beyond the collision with the cables.<\/p>\n<p>The base today carries his name, Base Coronel Mat&#233;. Neither the Army pages nor Spanish Wikipedia reached for this page give the date of the renaming, so none is given here. The accident was the second at the base in just over ten years in which wires were the killer, a reminder of how new low-level night flying was to the Army in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>Fifty years of Chinooks<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The heavy-lift helicopter has been Colmenar Viejo&rsquo;s signature. According to BHELTRA V&rsquo;s own history, the first two CH-47C Chinooks arrived in January 1973; there were six by 1974 and nine by 1978, and the first Model 414 export Chinooks followed in 1982. A specialist blog adds that the contract was signed in 1972 and that the first three CH-47Ds were delivered in 1982. From 1991 the Cs were brought up to D standard. Spanish Wikipedia records one loss, ET-413, in 1985; the sources do not give the place or casualties.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinooks have gone wherever Spain sent troops: to Kurdistan in 1991, to Tirana in 1999 to help Kosovar refugees, to Afghanistan and, with Task Force Toro, to Taji in Iraq from 18 June 2018, where three HT-17s flew alongside two Cougars until the Chinooks came home at the end of 2020 for modernisation. The Army&rsquo;s Iraq summary credits the task force with more than 7,000 flying hours.<\/p>\n<p>The modernisation turned the fleet into CH-47Fs. The first landed at Santander on 25 November 2021 (blog); the Army dates the first handover to 28 January 2022. The last CH-47D, ET-419, made its final flight on 1 April 2024, and Boeing delivered the 17th CH-47F on 15 October 2024. The Army data sheet gives the HT.17 room for 30 passengers and 8,172 kg of payload, and three M240 machine guns.

The academy&rsquo;s history begins with the instruction office of Helicopter Unit XI in 1972; on 20 March 1973, with the creation of FAMET, it became the Centro de Instrucci&#243;n y Aplicaci&#243;n (CIAFAM), recognised as a teaching centre on 9 May 1975 and renamed CEFAMET on 14 June 1976. On 6 October 2017 it became the Academia de Aviaci&#243;n del Ej&#233;rcito de Tierra, received its standard on 7 May 2021, and produced its first officer graduates of the new aviation specialty that July.<\/p>\n<p>Training moved to the EC135 in December 2005, when the first two arrived. A specialist blog counts 12 with the academy and four with the emergency battalion, and says the academy fleet passed 50,000 flying hours on 14 November 2022. The Airbus contract of December 2025 is meant to replace them with the H145M from 2028. The academy now also teaches unmanned-aircraft operators, which is where the Army&rsquo;s drone future is being trained, if not yet flown, at this base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Colmenar Viejo Army Helicopter Base, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1965<\/div>\n<p>10 July: General Instruction 165\/142 creates the Army light aviation unit for the Brunete Armoured Division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1966<\/div>\n<p>Base Los Remedios opens (27 May per Spanish Wikipedia; flag raised 29 June per the Army). 29 July: the first two UH-1Bs arrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1966<\/div>\n<p>28 December: a UH-1B hits a power line; four killed, among them a general.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1973<\/div>\n<p>January: the first two CH-47C Chinooks arrive. 20 March: the force becomes FAMET and the training centre CIAFAM is created.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1977<\/div>\n<p>20 April: ET-241 hits cables near the base on a night flight; Colonel Mat&#233; and six others die.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1979<\/div>\n<p>28 November: the logistic support unit, today&rsquo;s GL FAMET, is created.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1980<\/div>\n<p>29 September: BHELA I receives its first Bo 105 here; the battalion moves to Almagro in February 1983.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1991<\/div>\n<p>The CH-47Cs begin conversion to CH-47D standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2005<\/div>\n<p>December: the first two EC135 trainers arrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2017<\/div>\n<p>6 October: CEFAMET becomes the Army Aviation Academy, ACAVIET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2018<\/div>\n<p>12 December: the last UH-1H flight in Army service, at the base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2022<\/div>\n<p>28 January: the first CH-47F is handed over (Army); the blog gives 28 December 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2024<\/div>\n<p>1 April: the last CH-47D retires. 15 October: the 17th CH-47F is delivered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"incidents\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Incidents &amp; stories<\/div>\n<h2>What happened here<\/h2>\n<div class=\"inc\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"incd\">29 July 1966<\/div>\n<h3>The first Hueys<\/h3>\n<p>Two Bell UH-1B Iroquois, registered ET-201 and ET-206, landed at Los Remedios, the first helicopters of the Army&rsquo;s own aviation; four more followed on 11 August.
