Preserved in an Ecuadorian Air Force Airmen Club South of Quito, in San Rafael. I was finally able to catch it after several unsuccessful attempts during my visits to BAE 15 Paquisha "La Balbina" which is 10 min by car from there. With the same registration as a crashed Dhruv, this strange silver T-33 spends its days on the club's parking lot. In the background you can see a FAE Airbus H145 registered as FAE-1251 arriving at "La Balbina" after a flight to the Atuntaqui region due to certain social and political protests. Located at: (0°19'37.3"S 78°29'14.1"W)

Bahamasair at Quito?? No, it's the newest unexpected member for Aeroregional that will transport ecuadorian soccer teams abroad, since HC-CYA will not do this
