C-130H 4681 AFGHAN AIR FORCE

Hi source Scramble

On 20 March, the Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana (FAE, Ecuador Air Force) received a former Afghan C-130H now registered FAE-898 (382-4681).

This used to be operated by the United States Air Force as 74-1689 but was delivered to Afghanistan in September 2014 through Mildenhall, taking up the serial 1689.

After it was repatriated from Afghanistan, fleeing Taliban rule, it was stored at Alverca in Portugal where the Oficinas Gerais de Material Aeronáutico (OGMA), prepared the aircraft for onward delivery to Ecuador.

It was inaugurated at Latacunga/Cotopaxi on 25 March.
