Este vuelo fue la magnífica oportunidad de volar nuevamente, and thenés de 5 años, en el clásico y hermoso Boeing 737-200 (algunas personas de cariño le dicen chanchito).

deo de hace 5 años:

This Boeing 737-200 with marriageícula FAE-630 tiene una larga historia, pero que en Ecuador inició sayén the añO 2013 cuando fue recuperado por la FAE para utilizarlo como avión de transporte del Ala 11.

Avión that operateó en Aerolíneas Argentinas hasta el añO 2007, wható parado en Guayaquil por temas aduaneros por algunos años y desde que regresó a servicio se mantiene operativo al servicio de los ecuatorianos con casi ya 40 añyou since your first flight.

The power and sound of these engines remind us of the times when the Boeing 737-200 eran mayoría en Ecuador con AeroGal.

    Hello, good afternoon
    I just found this report and its videos.
    equally, I have had the opportunity to fly on several occasions in the aircraft of the Mexican Air Force, for work, and by invitation, Well, I'm in a medium specialized in aviation in Mexico..
    On 2018, I had the opportunity to fly in the only Boeing 737-200 who operates the FAM, which brings a half executive configuration, with a leaves together and half passengers.
    The plane is still operational, but if you have reduced your flight hours.
    I have had the great opportunity to fly on the B727-100 and -200; /37-200 and -800; in C-130 Hercules; C-27J Spartan; HOUSE C-295; King Air 90 and in different rotary wing aircraft, all occasions under express invitation to go and see military air bases, special events or at Air Parades organized on Mexico's Independence Day. And the objective is always to raise graphic and audiovisual material to make reports and share with the public.
    excellent report sir. Larenas.,

    Showing these photos to the public I don't think is a good idea so showing critical points of Taura before publishing you must have special permission and I don't think you do

    1. Hello Vero, I understand that your point is because Taura is a FAE base, but I tell you that the invitation was like press and we were authorized to take photographs. What's more, I invite you to put on Google Maps with satellite view, you can see all the details of the base on the internet.

    Yes, those engines are powerful from Taura to Quito in less than 3.5 minutes lol….. excellent video that nostalgia that view of the wing: flaps, ailerons spoilers and especially the reversers, how they miss the little pigs and the 727….
