Who would think we would be able to see the presidential helicopter of Colombia at the old Mariscal Sucre airport. This special visitor came from Tumaco to the new Quito's Airport with a special delegation from Colombia due to the visit of President Iván Duque the following day in order to attend the possession of the new President of Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso. The President of Colombia cancelled his trip the next day due to the riots in that country, so this helicopter flew back to the new airport to pick up their passengers and returned to Colombia.
