First flown in March 1966 and delivered new to Avianca, HK-727 spent her entire life in Colombia spending 24 years with Avianca and a further 25 years with Aerosucre. Seen at Barranquilla having just completed a year long conversion to a freighter and awaiting finishing of its Aerosucre livery. On 28th March 2015, 49 years to the day after its delivery to Avianca, the aircraft was flown to Cali to be the centrepiece of the Museo Aereo Fenix located at the city's Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport.
