Although the PC-7 remains in service with the Escuadrón Avanzado of the Escuela Militar de Aviacion at Zapopan, 6555 has been displayed at the Plaza Avión Militar in the town of Monclava since March 2013

The correct serial is PZT-1012 ex 44-90205. Previously displayed at Zapopan with its original serial and later as PZT-1016 at the Mexican AF HQ in Mexico City. It was moved to the museum in Guadalajara by January 2000.

One of 15 former Canadian Air Force Vampire F.3s acquired in 1960, the type was nicknamed the Aguatate (Avacado) in FAM service. Built as VP729 and transferred to Canada as 17040. Registered to Fliteways Inc as N6975D in 1958 before sale to Mexico in 1961. The aircraft has since moved on to join the collection in the Museo Militar de Aviacion at Santa Lucia.

One of 25 delivered in the late 1990s and flown by the Escuadron Preparatorio of the Colegio del Aire at Zapopan. The type was withdrawn in 2003 and several later found their way onto the civil market in the United States, EPM-6216 (re-serialled 216 c2001) becoming N973AB.

Very smart looking Kansan, displayed for many years and still present in April 2023. Ex 41-27409
