Photo Comment

In 2004, this plane was seized by the government in Portoviejo as it was said to belong to a person involved in drug trafficking. Its registration was XB-ILD. It was later stored in Latacunga for some time, then it was going to be used as a presidential plane and registered as FAE-050, but it never flew for the air force. After being dumped in Latacunga, it was moved to the ETFA in Latacunga to be used for training for mechanics. It has now been moved to the ESPE Belisario Quevedo campus where has been repainted and conserves its Mexican registration.
