FAE807 On February 10, 1997 at 13:05 LT, this Mirage F1JA was commanded by Major Raul Banderas "Conejo" when together with the FAE-806 (also preserved in this museum) piloted by Capt. Carlos Uscategui "Flash" shot down two Sukhoi SU 22s of the Peruvian Air Force during the Cenepa conflict. Undoubtedly a historical piece of great patriotic importance for Ecuador. You can see that above the letters "Mirage F1JA" is the demolition badge with the name of Major Raul Banderas. "4 seconds of honor... an eternity of glory." (more of FAE807)

AEE-373 The last Gazelle still flying in Ecuador, we used to have 2 active but on March 12, 2022 the AEE-374 crashed on Portoviejo. Who would say that years ago the Ecuadorian Army aviation had almost 40 of these aircraft, of which a large part of them were damaged by an explosion at La Balbina in 1997. Waiting at the Mariscal Sucre Air Force Base ready for departure back to La Balbina after participating on the air parade due to the Independence Day of Ecuador. (more of AEE-373)
