Hi! A week ago I uploaded a photo of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-14 preserved in Ecatepec, Mexico (https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9067879). I found in Scramble that this aircraft had the registration XA-SKA and it was the information I used to upload the photo. However, doing a little hard research, I found that there are two DC-9-14 preserved in Ecatepec: XA-SKA and XA-SPA. The point is that the aircraft of my photo is actually the XA-SPA, not the XA-SKA.
I found some evidences to beef up my idea. There is a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxRoTYc-Xb4) where we can see the fuselage of XA-SPA before it was repainted being transferred to it's previous place: Jardines de Morelos (It was retransferred to UNITEC, where I took my photo, by the way, a year ago because in the place it was built a bridge. There is a note about this retransfer: http://semanal.jornada.com.mx/ultima...-en-biblioteca). As we can see, the aircraft had no name. Originally, the XA-SPA hadn't any name. The current location of the aircraft is the following: https://goo.gl/CwM53Y
Also, I found another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP1oOIa69hk) where we can see the XA-SKA before it was repainted being transferred to San Andres de la Cañada, Ecatepec. As we can see, the aircraft had the name "Tatafierros" Originally, the XA-SKA had the name "Tatafierros". Also, there's a note about the transfer where it is specified that the aircraft is the XA-SKA: http://elcronistadeecatepec.blogspot...-ecatepec.html The location of the aircraft is the following: https://goo.gl/maps/wMR9DNJ1TTF2 Therefore, I can conclude that the XA-SKA is located in a different place and it wasn't the aircraft I took a week ago.
Finally, I found an official document where it is specified the abandoned aircrafts located in Mexico in 2008. We can see that it is considered the XA-SPA: http://dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle_popup.php?codigo=5031939 3 years after this document, XA-SPA and XA-SKA were preserved.
With all this information, I request the data correction in the photo previously mentioned (https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9067879) to avoid confusions. I made the data correction 3 days ago. However, it hasn't changed since then:
Registration: XA-SPA
SN: 45698
Greetings, and thank you so much for the help!
