Delivered new to LAN Chile in February 1955 as CC-CLDB and re-registered as CC-CLE in 1956. To the Ecuadorian AF in 1971 as FAE44691 / HC-AVH. Withdrawn c1975 and on display at the museum by 1977

Delivered as FAE804 in 1955. Six Canberra B6s served the Ecuadorian AF from 1955, three were lost in service and the survivors were withdrawn in 1984 after almost 30 years of service. The three survivors are all preserved, two, including 71405, are displayed outside the base headquarters building and the third within the main museum collection.

Delivered to the USAAF as 44-77164 in 1945. To Ecuador as FAE77164 / HC-AUT in 1963. Preserved at Quito from 1977, now without its military serial.

One of the 5 Texan that remained in Ecuador. With a little research I've found out that there were two of these T-6 at Salinas until 2009 more or less. Other one was inside the Colegio Técnico Aeronaútico Coronel Maya very close to the old airport, with fake reg HC-TCA but it disappeared in 2018. The two other remaining are this one in the pic and another one inside the Museum of the Ecuadorian air force. This T-6 was recently restored for the 100th anniversary of our air force.

One of the Cessna 150s that were retired from the Cosme Rennella Barbato military aviation school in Salinas once the Diamond aircraft were added to the fleet. Still wearing the unit markings and school colors.

A true relic that had to have its space in this aeronautical museum. A B-25 Mitchell painted in the colors of the "Apache Princess" resting for years in the museum at the Mariscal Sucre air base. It was seized by Ecuadorian authorities in Guayaquil in 1965 for carrying contraband cargo. In 1978 the Ecuadorian Air Force took it to Quito to be exhibited in this museum, initially wearing fictitious FAE colors and fictitious registration B-N9069Z. In October 2011 this design was added imitating the "Apache Princess". Ex- USAF (44-86866).

Preserved unmarked. Looks like it has been in an accident. Later marked as TP-512/FAE 00512.

Former serial was 61-2645. FAE-897 was retired from service in July 1993 and is on display as part of the "Museo Aeronáutico y del Espacio" at Quito's Mariscal Sucre Air Base. It is used as a projection room.

Because some of the Air Force planes were part of the Tame fleet, FAE-738 also had a civil registration HC-BAZ. This plane had a slight accident in Lago Agrio on June 23, 1987 with no injuries or casualties. It was said that 2 helicopters lifted it up to move it, as it was being moved, the plane gained some lift, so the helicopter pilots decided to release the plane, and it fell on its top. It was later fixed in a very artsy fashion, and preserved at the Museo Aeronáutico y del Espacio in Quito. It was later moved to Fuerte Patria Army base in Latacunga and used for training of K&R.

Painted as Ecuador AF Twin Beech 465, this was originally Chile Air Force 490 (and N9132Z and USAF 52-10565 before that). This may explain the double flag on the tail.

PBY Catalina at the Ecuador Air Force Museum in Quito with fake markings, and an unknown true identity.

Douglas B-23 Dragon, ex HC-APV, in full civil Ecuatoriana paint job with incorrect identification TH-344. This is also carried by a Beech T-34A Mentor at the same museum, so it was probably a painting error. By 2014 this B-23 had been correctly repainted as HC-APV. Some of these old bombers have been used for cargo missions in remote sections of the Andes.

In addition to their military FAE serial, all militairy C-47s in Ecuador also carried a civil HC-AUx registration. However, this one seems to have lost its military serial, and the civil reg looks more like H6-AUT. Now preserved at the airforce museum at the old airport in Quito.

No external markings found

Delivered to to the Fuerza Aerea Ecuatoriana in 1975. Damaged beyond repair in 1987 then to the museum and preserved unmarked.
