Colombia Air Force question

I have some paint for the Colombia Air Force Cessna 208's and I am thinking about making plans for them. I started to look up where they are based and one of them (FAC50556) said it was with the unit named GAAMA. What does GAAMA stand for and where are they based? OBRATS on Scramble.nl didn't show anything with GAAMA and I could find anything about where they are based googling it.

GAAMA = Grupo Aéreo del Amazonas

GAAMA is at Leticia (SKLT) (04°11'37"S 069°56'35"W)

Escuadrón de Combate 401
it use C212-300 Pelicano & Ce208B Grand Caravan

At any time, various aircraft from other units are detached here.

Note your aircraft registration is false. It is not FAC50556 but FAC5056 ;-)





All infos find on Scramble.nl and just a quick search about GAAMA on Google ;-) (2 minutes times for all)

Thank you very much!

I am going to try and make plans for the 208's that I have. I am going to send them to airports where they have been photographed at since I haven't been able to find tracking data at the usual sites (like flightaware).
