The FBI donated the aircraft to the War Eagles Air Museum in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, after Zambada's arrest in El Paso in 2024. This event has reignited debates about U.S. involvement in his capture, as Zambada claimed he was deceived and kidnapped. U.S. officials, including Ambassador Ken Salazar, denied any American resources were used. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called for transparency regarding the circumstances of Zambada's arrest, emphasizing the importance of clarifying the truth for bilateral relations.
