Still with the titles of its previous operator Transportes Aéreos Suravia from Chile, which operated this Commando from 1969 to 1975 as CC-CEX. In 1978 they sold it to LATISA (Línea de Transporte Interior Sudamericano), also from Chile, but they never operated the aircraft and it remained stored. It was bought by Frigorífico Santa Rita in 1983 as CP-1848, and it is seen here being readied to be taken into service by them. It was destroyed in an accident on 13 September 1993.
