Something new in SEQU. After the ceremony for the 101 years of creation of the Ecuadorian aviation and the Ecuadorian Air Force, we were able to appreciate this T-34 displayed on top of a metal structure, with a painted runway in the ground (with number 2021) and lights equipped and turned on, it makes us remember when this plane soared through the skies. This T-34 was at the General Ulpiano Páez airport in Salinas where it was used as a decoration for ceremonies. Now it fulfills the same function only that it has been transferred to Quito.
