Ex Mexicana, in derelict condition. Became N777WA in 1979 and ultimately dismantled at Mexico City. The fuselage later served as a cafe in the Zoo of Irapuato City, Guanajuato, Mexico. It was reportedly in very poor condition in 2006. Google Earth shows the aircraft complete with its wings in trees at the zoo in 2014. Google Maps in 2017 now shows the space occupied by the Comet to be empty. It has been scrapped.
