Taxiing out for the 2010 Independence Parade over Mexico City, PC-7 2508 is one of 88 PC-7s delivered to Mexico. It was delivered as EAP-508 and later reserialled to 2508, indicating use as an attack aircraft. It is seen here with a large badge of EA201 on the tail, Mexico's famous squadron, which fought alongside the Allies to liberate the Philippines in World War II. This aircraft was retired in 2013, and after a few years use as a travelling exhibit, it is preserved in the museum at Santa Lucia since 2019.
