Three ex USAF C-26Bs were delivered to the Colombian air force in November 1997. FAC1240 was damaged after a few years of service in these colours and appeared in the museum in April 2003. The two others received substantial upgrades in 2002, until one of them was also damaged beyond repair in 2006 and stored at Rionegro and stripped for spareparts. Eventually, the last one transferred to the Colombian national police by 2018.

A bit of a mystery is this Beaver preserved in the Colombian Aerospace Museum. Until at least 1997, msn 297 was preserved in the museum, but this aircraft was put up for sale in 2003. The Beaver in the picture, with a dent visible in the wing, appeared in the museum in 2004...
