Supported by the Department of State Air Wing, the Fuerza de Tarea Aérea 'Diablos Rojos' ('Red Devils' task force) operated a fleet of Iroquois. Some were painted drab green, others in this grey/maroon colour scheme as used by the DoS Air Wing in other countries too. Some wore a US Embassy shield. This particular airframe, formerly 66-16761, was delivered in 1996 and had DoSAW administrative code H-48 allocated. It was lost in an accident on 26 October 2006.
