Guayas  Jungle Jet #3 by an uncredited artist HC-BCT B707-321B Ecuatoriana 1976-80* Guayas is the most populous province in Ecuador; it is bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the city of Guayaquil, the largest in the country, is located in Guayas. The diversity of the province’s natural terrain is depicted in the livery: the sun shining on the coast could be seen on the front part of the plane while the rear referred to the humid and fertile inland parts of the province. Ecuador is also one of the world's top producer of flowers, which were depicted on the middle part of the fuselage. The province is also a large river basin and the Guayas River flow was depicted in the livery as well (see the light blue curve descending from the tail).
