Back to crunching old data: caught an interesting TCAS event in my archive from August 7.

With the arrival of four LCF-24 MV-22s to Taura AB, Ecuador, the country now hosts a decent US aerial component.
The MV-22s join the UH-1Ys assigned to USS San Antonio (LPD 17), at least one US Army UH-60M, three USAF U-28As, and possibly MQ-9As from Holloman AFB.
Correction: XC-LRH figure included traces from XB-GOJ, a Cessna 320E also using #0D1381. the C208 activity is 4 flights, Toluca-based, with routes toward Guerrero and Pachuca, not the SLP/Querétaro/Morelia/León routes previously shown.
The aircraft now operates as XC-LRH (#0D1381) under Mexico's official-use registration prefix. Since then, it has logged 10 flights between Aug 19 and Sep 3, 2026, based out of Toluca, with routes to San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Morelia, and León/Guanajuato.

Today's flight marks a return to MMVR after prior CBP visits logged in July 2026.
Four Cessna Citation Longitudes, same buyer, same shell chain, wildly different lives. N349CL flew Tonga's king to a ceremony in Fiji. N828CL got caught circling a live Electronic Warfare range in Idaho.
