This Turbo Commander served with the Colombian air force between 2002 and 2010, when its nose landing gear would not extend at the same airport where this picture was taken, Rionegro. It landed on its nose with 3 crew and 5 officials, including the Ministero of Social Security and the Governor of Sucre on board. It was repaired and served again till 2014, when it was transferred to the Colombian army as EJC1108 and received a less attractive colourscheme.
