Finally this airframe is wearing the new Aeroregional livery, resting at the remote apron after a day of flying through Ecuador. As you may see the Avior / GCA Airlines livery is still seen on the landing gear door and on the red stripe on the tail and this livery of Aeroregional doesn't have the distinctive white stripes in between tricolor as the other B737s from the fleet. This plane flew in the past with Piedmont, US Air and US Airways as N424US, then to NewGen Airways as HS-NGA and later it was going to be part of GCA Airlines with an unknown registration but this never happened.

What an extremely rare catch!! A civilian Robinson R66 at La Balbina Army Brigade. I couldn't believe that that this special visitor ended up landing at 8534 ft and on a military heliport. Being prepared for a flight to Ambato (SEAM) after flying from some helipad in Santo Domingo that same morning. This same chopper suffered a crash on August 29, 2020 at Manta during an engine test but it was repaired. Special thanks to everyone involved on this special "express" spotting.

The newest and 4th plane for Aeroregional finally arrived to Quito on its delivery flight from Latacunga after C check, still in GCA colours with tail logo. This plane was stored at LTX since June 2019 and was painted in GCA Airlines (Avior subsidiary) color scheme, but the plane never flew with them and the airline ceased operations so Aeroregional recently bought this B734. It flew in the past with Piedmont, US Air, US Airways as N424US, then it went to NewGen Airways as HS-NGA and later was going to be part of GCA Airlines with an unknown registration but this never happened.

Delivered as FAE804 in 1955. Six Canberra B6s served the Ecuadorian AF from 1955, three were lost in service and the survivors were withdrawn in 1984 after almost 30 years of service. The three survivors are all preserved, two, including 71405, are displayed outside the base headquarters building and the third within the main museum collection.
