Notes:

A "must see" that was on my list. This Fairchild of the defunct Austro Aéreo resting since 2003 in this parking lot next to the Mariscal La Mar Airport in Cuenca. As we can read in the green label, it has been confiscated by the IESS (Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security) due to a coercive trial. Behind you can see the tail of Tame HC-COX which is stored at the airport after it crashed there in 2016.
