Resting at the apron in Cotopaxi Intl. Latacunga airport for several years now, I really doubt to see it flying someday. This private jet was seized by the Ecuadorian authorities for drug trafficking in Guayaquil and was resting there until the Ecuadorian Air Force took it to the Latacunga airport to join the fleet and perform maintenance. Unfortunately so far it has only flown a couple of test and transfer flights and hasn't flown since then. Ex N689JE.
