These planes are now fifty years-old and their maintenance is poor. In addition, the runway of the "airport" in Puerto LeguĂ­zamo is too short (note that this "airport" doesn't even have a control tower). This is the army that is supposed to be fighting the guerrilla groups that control drug trafficking in Colombia. Draw your own conclusions!
