Notes:
Up until 1994, with the resurrection of the Zapatista army in Chiapas, Mexico had no proper aircraft for aerial vigilance, and had to resort to using aircraft such as the King Air C90 with radio for the job. As a response to this, the government acquired its first aircraft specifically designed to do aerial vigilance. So, 2 of these german aircraft were purchased. From the geometry and long wings, we can observe the efficient design for low speed and aerodynamic induced drag, the same way gliders do. Its final resting place is at the MUMA [Museo Militar de Aviación] [1920px] [FAMEX 2021]

Someone needs to spin the prop a bit for the photographer.
