Taxiing out for the 2010 Independence Parade over Mexico City, PC-7 2519 is one of 88 PC-7s delivered to Mexico. It was delivered as EAP-519 and later reserialled to 2519, 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 has been on display in the Parque Lineal Centenario del Ejercito in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas state since May 2014.
