Remarks: | On its initial climb from RWY 35 at Quito. This aircraft used to be from the biggest operator in Ecuador "TAME" it was reg # HC-BLE, it was donated from TAME to the Ecuadorian Air Force. The Air Force controls some percentage of TAME and the majority of its pilots are ex military. Nice to see these one flying again since this is the last of the 727-100 family in Ecuador, the other ones that used to fly with TAME also, were lost in accidents. |
