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.
