A totally crazy day, spotting all day in the city of Latacunga with the DGAC Beechcraft 350 and hours later having a race against the clock by land from Cotopaxi Airport to Mariscal Sucre in Quito to take this photo. This would be the first time that a C-17, other than those of the USAF, lands at Quito. Landing in slow motion for training, with a stunning sunset from San José, Costa Rica as CFC3627. The next day it departed towards Panama Pacifico and then to St. Maarten. I am immensely grateful to my friend Joseph Cervantes and his father for their help that day.

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
