After being retired from service in Petroecuador, it was taken to the ETFA in Latacunga where it shared campus withe the ESPE (the armed forces university). Not long ago, ESPE opened a new campus in the Belisario Quevedo district of Latacunga and there it houses a few planes which are used for training mechanics.

Quebecair's first turbine airliner was this F-27. Delivered September 17, 1958, it would be sold to Horizon Air as that airline expanded into larger aircraft post de-regulation. Registered N273PH, the aircraft was traded to De Havilland Canada in January 1986 in part payment for new Dash 8s. Later with Airlift International as N273RD, it was wrecked at Miami by Hurricane Andrew on August 24, 1992.
