XC-FOV
November 2022

Purchased from Sociedad Anonima Ecuatoriana de Transportes (SAETA). Taken at 'Laguardia', Puembo, Ecuador 22 November 2022.

The aircraft is still looking smart in its new livery but without the fictitious registration 'HC-CAG'.

The surrounding garden is equally well kept.

The propeller blades are still in the unnatural 'feathered' position.
