The external museum aircraft are parked at the Northern end of the runway next to what I remember to also be the VIP area. I think there was an old Herc too. If you tour the national museums of Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina the Canberra gets pride of place in all three.
If you’ve landed into Quito, by the time you see that Canberra the thrust reversers are screaming and your heart is probably just starting to calm down!!!!!

I have finally see it! Never saw it on telly the first time around.
However, it took 3 attempts to purchase the region 2 DVD as I was told twice that the company manufacturing the DVD is no longer able to supply said item! Get them while you can fellas…
Next to the hangar housing the T33s is the VIP terminal. If you have the chance to fly from this, you will probably have the oportunity to meet one of the squadron pilots – typically happy to speak to anyone. I asked what they flew, they guy said ‘ come with me’ ; and thus followed a 20 minute tour of the T33s. I was not allowed to take any pics of tail markings or the cockpiy layout. Sorry
