Delivered to American Airlines in October 1990. Withdrawn from use and stored at Roswell (KROS) on May 7, 2015. The aircraft has since been scrapped.

I'm reasonably sure that this operated for the Mexican Government - but cannot find independent corroboration!

While taxiing to the active runway, I had a good view of the maintenance center at Alajuela. Some interesting aircraft parked there. This one is ex. N130ST (Trans Texas Airlines, Texas Int'l Airlines, Air National). As N563PC, she served with Purolator, Emery Worldwide, Kitty Hawk, C&M Airways and Frontera Flight Holdings. Since October 2017 part of the Aeronaves fleet as XA-TIG.

Aircraft on lease to Lacsa from Sterling.

Built for the RCAF in 1943, this Canso had many civil identities in the US, Central and South America after 1946. Used by the CIA as a communications ship during "Bay of Pigs" invasion of Cuba in April 1961, it also appeared in the 1969 movie Tora, Tora, Tora. The seaplane is pictured awaiting the attention of new owner Troya SA to be registered TG-BIV. On January 5, 1994, the aircraft had an engine failure during delivery to New Zealand. Diverting to Christmas Island and unable to maintain altitude it ditched in the Pacific Ocean and sank several hours after the crew took to the life raft.

With this large 'Musica sin fronteras' (Music without borders) title, Aeromexico 737 XA-AME was a nice catch while waiting for our flight back home.
