Photo Comment

These Mexican Fairchilds have tricky histories. This one carried XC-UTD as her alternative identity (hidden behind wing in this view). It was originally destined for the Banco de Mexico as XC-COX in 1962 but not taken up and immediately transferred to the Mexican AF as AP-0204. Converted from F27F to F27J in 1978. In 1987 it became XA-MCJ of Aerocaribe. Partially scrapped at Merida 1993
