The CASA C-101 Aviojet is the primary jet trainer of Spain and clearly has the same basic features as contemporary aircraft, especially the tandem cockpit in which the instructor in the back seat sits higher than the student pilot in the front. Straight low mounted wings can also be found on similar aircraft. What is different on the Aviojet are the long, narrow air intakes in front of the wing roots and the single exhaust below the tail instead of at the very end of the aircraft. The horizontal stabiliser is at the junction of the rear fuselage and vertical stabiliser.

The different versions of the CASA Aviojet can externally only be distinguished by the presence of hard points under the wings, for storage of weapons.

The BB and CC versions of the Aviojet have a provision for storage of weapons under the wings. Additionally, they seem to have ventral fins under the exhaust, but we don't know if this is standard. For the rest they looks the same as the decicated trainer versions. The difference between both versions is that the C-101CC is a dedicated light attack version, while the C-101BB has a dual training/attack rol. In Chili these aircraft are designated T-36 and A-36 Halcón respectively.

This is the dedicated trainer version, used exclusively by Spain. It has no weapons or provisions for them, nor ventral fins.
