Photo Comment

Very cool Howard 400 (converted L-18 Lodestar) at the Museo Aeroespacial Colombiano, which was still located at Bogotá International Airport then. This aircraft is ex YV-183CP, last operated by ATRAMAR - Aerotransporte del Mar, and it never served with the FAC. It was wfu or seized in 1992 and stored at Bogotá, last seen as such in 1997. It was later transferred to the museum and restored to represent the Presidential L-18 Lodestar. The real FAC654 was c/n 18-2327. The museum and its aircraft were moved to Briceño in the Cundinamarca district between Oct 2015 and Aug 2017.
