I'm sorry, but I don't believe PP-CEL survives, or at least not as a viable restoration project.

I can't find a 'Rua Copiuba' in Manaus. There are both a 'Rua Cupiúba' and an 'Avenida Cupiúba' in that city, although neither of them seems to have a scrapyard according to Google Maps.

At any rate, on Google Maps I can't find the aircraft at the airport either. According to http://www.portal2014.org.br/midia/noti ... 4752-1.jpg (cf. foreground) and all the online photos I've been able to find, the aircraft was stored at -3.031297,-60.037494 (position in Google Maps). I don't have Google Earth, but if I interpret the date marker on the Google Maps satellite photo correctly, that was taken in 2012, i.e. probably after http://www.c82packet.com/survivors.html was last updated.

If both of those two are still in Brazil, someone crazy enough should transport them back to the US.

GOOGLE EARTH is a free download by just typing 'GOOGLE EARTH' into GOOGLE and pressing a couple of keys, then put it in FAVORITES.
