Overview
The final aircraft of the Ace Combat Zero line, the ESPADA Rafale M is based on the one flown by Marcela "Macarena" Vasquez, the second pilot of the Sapin Air Force's Espada Squadron. The plane is given a gray paint coating with red and yellow stripes running across the wingtips. The Sapin coat of arms can be seen in both wings, while the Espada team's emblem is located in the vertical stabilizer. The tailcode "ES 507" can be seen there as well.

The ESPADA Rafale's air-to-air capabilits have been given a large upgrade. Mobility, in the other hand has been upgraded to near-max levels. In exchage, however, speed and stability have suffered a low decrease. The plane's weapons capacity remains unaffected.
