One of the rarest captures in my collection. During the 1995 war between Ecuador and Perú, many enemy planes flew bombing and reconnaissance missions over Ecuadorian territory. On February 10th, 1995, 4 Ecuadorian jets scrambled out of Taura AFB to intercept Peruvian planes, one of them being this A-37 which was shot down by a Kfir after shooting 2 missiles. Its canopy was recovered by a helicopter of the 2212 squadron, and it is now displayed in Ecuador. Note this is the real one, as there are many copies of it all around Ecuador such as in "SEQU" It sort of serves as a trophy of that day's victory.
