An OT-47B is a military variant of the Cessna 560, hence it is dubbed SR-560 Tracker with the Colombian Air Force. The Tracker is equipped with the F-16's APG-66(V) radar in the nose, as well as the WF-360TL imaging system. Five of these aircraft were handed over to Colombia as part of the Air Bridge Denial (ABD) programme, which saw a dramatic decline in drug smuggling by air. ColBra III was a Colombian-Brazilian exercise held in 2009 with the aim to control their aerial border in close cooperation. Ex N5373D delivered in August 2002.

An OT-47B is a military variant of the Cessna 560, hence it is dubbed SR-560 Tracker with the Colombian Air Force. The Tracker is equipped with the F-16's APG-66(V) radar in the nose, as well as the WF-360TL imaging system. Five of these aircraft were handed over to Colombia as part of the Air Bridge Denial (ABD) programme, which saw a dramatic decline in drug smuggling by air. ColBra III was a Colombian-Brazilian exercise held in 2009 with the aim to control their aerial border in close cooperation. Ex N5373D delivered in August 2002.

This T-41D fell victim to the trend to paint museum aircraft in dull grey in Colombia, fortunately it was restored to its former silver paint eventually. It was the former FAC425 and was first reported in the museum in 1995.

In 1986, Aero Mercantil, a longtime dealer for Piper Aircraft in Guaymaral, Colombia, started the development of a single engine utility and passenger aircraft. Thus, the Gavilán was born, an all-metal high-wing box-shaped aircraft, with room for one pilot and seven passengers. In the end, only eleven of these aircraft were built, msn 007 was used by the Colombian air force as FAC5062. It was built around 2000 and retired by April 2008.

Three ex USAF C-26Bs were delivered to the Colombian air force in November 1997. FAC1240 was damaged after a few years of service in these colours and appeared in the museum in April 2003. The two others received substantial upgrades in 2002, until one of them was also damaged beyond repair in 2006 and stored at Rionegro and stripped for spareparts. Eventually, the last one transferred to the Colombian national police by 2018.

A bit of a mystery is this Beaver preserved in the Colombian Aerospace Museum. Until at least 1997, msn 297 was preserved in the museum, but this aircraft was put up for sale in 2003. The Beaver in the picture, with a dent visible in the wing, appeared in the museum in 2004...
