Photo Comment

Built as C-131B 53-7797 and later converted to NC-131B status. Placed into storage at MASDC in 1982 and sold to Carga Aereo Transportada of Bolivia as CP-2026 in 1985. The aircraft was sold to Servicios Aereos Santa Ana in 1993 and now owned by ECO Express. Although it has been stored and inactive for many years, it is one of the very last potentially airworthy propliners still present at La Paz in 2021.
