WELCOME HOME FAE-898!!! Historic moment in Ecuadorian aviation!!! Months of waiting, but finally the new member of the FAE arrived at SELT as RCH413, after a long trip from the OGMA workshops in Alverca, Portugal (LPAR), my second homeland. It flew LPAR-LPLA-CYHZ-KILG-KNIP-KNQX-SELT on delivery from March 18th to 21st. And after two incredible low passes it landed carrying two engines to the L-100 (FAE-893) that should have maintenance soon and fly alongside this C-130H. Here, receiving the water salute. Donated by the US Government, ex USAF 74-1689 and Afghanistan Air Force 1689. This photo is copyright © Diogo Da Conceição, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
