Photo Comment

Tame's first Boeing 727, "Cotopaxi" wearing the 2003 livery. Unfortunately this plane was retired from service in late 2008 after a fissure in the landing gear was discovered after landing in Guayaquil. As that couldn't be repaired in Guayaquil and the plane was declared "Unsafe" to be flown to Latacunga, it was forced to retire. For many years it was stored in Guayaquil until it was purchased by someone who stored it in an aquatic / amusement park 40 minutes away from Guayaquil.
