Ex HK-3635 impounded by the Mexican authorities in 1991 and impressed into service, initially as TE-003 and 3907 by early 2001. Withdrawn and used as a ground trainer by the Escuadron de Vigilancia Aérea to prepare crews of the FAM's newly ordered Embraer 145 surveillance platform. The aircraft is now in the Museo Militar de Aviación at Santa Lucia.
