A-37B tail number 434 from El Salvador’s Air Force after a wet t-shirt contest, i mean, aftert landing on its wing-tanks. Air Force says it will be ready to fly in a couple of weeks.
I know nothing about Guatamala, and less about its airforce. Does the fin flash on it signify that the Dak on the left hand edge of the piccy is in military service?

Here is the information about the Dakota your asking, from Mario Overall at LAAHS.com forums back in September 11th, 2006 :
“Hello Folks,
I’m attaching a photo of DC-3 “FAM Uno” or “FAM One” formerly used as the presidential plane in Mexico. As far as we know, the plane was being restored at Monterrey when some Bolivians Entreprenuers purchased it. The last we knew was that they were ready to take the plane to Bolivia (It was around 18 months ago.)
Two months ago, more or less, the plane landed here in La Aurora (Guatemala City) and since then, it is parked at the East Side’s International Ramp, where all the planes in transit are parked. I asume that the crew ran into problems with the local immigration authorities or the plane is grounded due to mechanical issues… I don’t know for sure.
Enjoy!”
Ive been looking for some pics but with no success.
A couple more from El Salvador’s AF, Saludos.
