One of three FH-227s operated by the Uruguayan AF, destroyed by fire while still stored in 8.95. Sister-ship T-571 infamously crashed in the Andes in 10.72, the survivors being found two months later having survived on cannibalism. The third was preserved and now acts as gate guard at the Montevideo Carrasco military base This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
