HC-AZH ¦ MIA 26.01.1981

            Canadair CC-106 (CL.44-6) Yukon (c/n 13)
ANDES Aerolineas Nacionales del Ecuador
Miami-International (MIA/KMIA)
26 January 1981

A total of 39 Canadair CL.44s were built, of which 12 were of the CC-106 Yukon variant for the Royal Canadian Air Force. After they were struck off charge in 1971, many of them ended up on the civil market as CL-44-6s.

This particular airframe was built in 1961 for the RCAF, and acquired by ANDES in 1974 as HC-AZH. It was seen from the Southern Perimeter road on short finals to runway 30, by climbing onto the trunk of the rental in order to avoid any obstructing fences. Well worth the sight and sound, though!

During a later visit to Miami I made acquaintance of the late Eddy Gual, who was kindly lending out ladders to spotters, thus perhaps saving tons of rentals around MIA. But that's another story.

Returning to the subject, HC-AZH was withdrawn from use at Guayaquil in 1986, and remained in storage there for almost 25 years before it was moved to Mayday nightclub in Los Totems, Cuenca, in 2010. Recent photos suggest it is still there, albeit with two engines removed, and the nightclub now seems to be the Discoteca Hangover.
