This abandoned Convair is hiding in a remote corner of the airport of Morelia, near the end of the runway. An unpaved path leads to this airplane. It can also be clearly seen from highway 48-D, but not from the airport terminal. Google Earth shows the airplane painted in bright colors but these have faded or have been washed away in the Mexican climate. What now remains is a decorative cover that looks like urban-graffiti. If you look closely you can still read the registration XB-GNM on the tail and dorsal fin. Also note the very faded "Cariboo" titles on the fuselage, from its time with North Cariboo Flying Service as C-GRWW in the early and mid 1980s.

Ex AeroMéxico aircraft with Biblioteca en las Nubes titles. This means Library in the Clouds. It looks like an abandoned project, as there were no functioning gates around this compound and the airplane was starting to get overgrown by the surrounding vegetation. They tried to remove the registration but it was still a little visible on the fuselage.

Former AeroMexico DC-9 parked inside a childeren playground north of the town. Google Earth shows the airplane there until at least 2019 still in full AeroMexico colours. But now in already fading bright decorations, and in large capital letters the name of the town on the fuselage. Compliments to still have the full registration visible !

Preserved in a citypark on the southern end of the city of Morelia. Full of stickers about the regional government of Michoacan. The registration is still showing on the top of the wings.

There is something that looks like a salvage yard on this disused airfield. It is just outside the village of Tzurumútaro, Michoacan, Mexico. The registration was placed on the engine cowling, so was no longer visible. But XC-PGN was taken from various databases. Confirmed with the colours, which were the same when this Citation was still flying for PGR-Procuraduría General de la República.

This airfield in the sate of Michoacan is no longer in operation. The grass runway is now in use by grazing cattle. There are however still some areas that are fenced off and look like in use by a salvage yard. This DC-9 was wfu at Morelia and later moved to this very remote location. A distance of at least 80km by road.

Actually ex XA-ROA, painted with bogus registration XA-IPN. The new cablecar line 1 passes right over the Instituto Politécnico Nacional. This A320 can clearly be seen from the gondolas. This also explains the reflections. The airplane was originally delivered to China in 1997, and later flew for Interjet in Mexico between 2011 and 2014.

Mexicana B727 now in use as an instructional airframe for future engineers. It has a faded ESIME Ticomán logo on the nose, and additional Instituto Politécnico Nacional titel on the fuselage.

Previously operated for the national police, as PF-403, now with the Guardia Nacional.

Mexican cropduster plane, now an instructional airframe at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) - Ticoman.

No external marking visable, different sources identify the Beech 90 King Air at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional as ex Air Force 5203. If you pay attention this aircraft can also be seen from the Cablebus line 1

Another Volaris Logo-jet

Normally traffic is clearly split at Mexico city airport, with AeroMexico arriving at the runway from the southern terminal 2 area and the other airlines arriving from the northern Terminal 1. This AeroMexico Connect Embraer 190 crossed the runway and taxied to the runway via the north. Cutting infront of several other AeroMexico airplanes awaiting departure. As a result it taxied past the famous pedestrian bridge near the airport fence.
