In the late nineties, the Mexican air force turned to Russia to buy aircraft and helicopters, one of these was An-32B 3101 bought with 1555 flight hours. With its huge engines and hot-and-high qualities it was well-suited to deliver aid to the far corners of the country. It was written off with 2384 flight hours on 24 November 2010 near Monterrey with the loss of its entire crew of five.
