Under maintenance at the time, this 1954 Convair 580 (ex TAM-73) flew again for the Bolivian Air Force, only to met its demise in a crash 22 February 2005 at Trinidad. The aircraft crash-landed on muddy terrain just after takeoff following engine problems. Twenty-eight people were injured. The wreck lingered around for a few more years.

One of very few aircraft ever operated by the Bolivian army, based at La Paz-El Alto and operated by the general command of the army. I had to cross a taxiway to reach their hangar, to see the only aircraft the unit operated at the time.

Freshly delivered, about two weeks before this picture was taken, this Hercules is the former 58-0750 of the US Air Force. At the time, crew and technicians were still getting familiar with this aircraft.

Previously operated by Universal Airlines from the USA, and withdrawn from use in 1967 and sold. It went through various US owners, but remained in storage. It was eventually sold to Rudolfo Castex from Argentina in September 1974, who operated it in South America. Interestingly, Castex also kept the Commando in full Universal Airlines livery, as seen here. In 1984 it was acquired by Transportes Aéreos Universal from Bolivia (formed in 1979) and became CP-1524. Its fate is unclear, but registration CP-1524 had been cancelled by 1998. Presumably scrapped.
