In December 2013 me and my wife drove around Mexico for five weeks in a rental. Last couple days we spend at a beach on the island of Cozumel in Quintana Roo state. Laying on the beach in the morning of 30 December a PC-7 was passing by. As this was a non-spotting holiday I could not resist this moment and took a taxi to the gate of BAM #4 General Eduardo Aldasoro Suarez home of the Escuadrón Aéreo 201 of the 2/o.Grupo Aereo. Within no time I as was escorted in and granted permission to photograph. Although there were only four PC-7’s on base as others were dispatched to various airfields. The one that flew earlier in the morning had performed a check-flight and there was no further flying planned. But the friendly colleague technicians of the Mexican Air Force pushed one out for a nice shot. Of course the three gate-guards were photographed as well.
