Photo taken while waiting to board this aircraft for our flight back to Quito from the Galapagos islands. This is a former Lufthansa aicraft (delivered in 1974 as D-ABRI). It had been stored at Quito Mariscal Sucre by 2005 and later scrapped there.

Tame's HC-BSC / FAE-788 was retired from service in 2005 and was chopped up in 2013 when Quito's old airport shut down. Only the nose section / cockpit was preserved and sent to ESPE (The armed forces' university) for it to be converted into a Boeing 737-500 flight training device / flight simulator.

Retired from fleet in late 2004, stored at the Mariscal Sucre air force base in Quito. Here it was displayed during the Ecuadorian Air Force's annual open house. All the good parts of the plane were removed to be used on the remaining 727s, and the plane was later moved to the other side of the airport where it remained until the airport shut down and the plane was scrapped.

Former Lufthansa D-ABRI. Delivered to Tame in 1993. Retired from fleet in late 2004 and was stored in Quito's old airport (SEQU) until it was scrapped when it shut down. Here it is seen wearing the 2001 (Tame - Línea Aérea del Ecuador) livery.

HC-BSC's final resting position at the other side of the airport, seen together with HC-BMD. Both planes were scrapped when the old airport shut down.

Recently repainted with the new Línea Aérea del Ecuador titles, but still carries the old FAE-788 on the rear fuselage below the engines. Ex Lufthansa D-ABRI, registered 5th Jan 1993 and retired SEQM (Quito) Sep 2004, scrapped

HC-BSC named "Galápagos" waiting for its next flight. You can see on the open door that Tame still operated the ex-Lufthansa 727s with the brown interior. HC-BSC was retired from service in early 2005.
