The Brazilian air force (FAB) has released photographs of the Embraer Legacy 600 business jet that collided with a Gol Linhas Aereas Boeing 737-800 on Friday killing 151 passengers and crew on board. The air force has begun its investigation into the case of the crash and has retained the Embraer aircraft.
The aircraft (N600XL, pictured below) was on its delivery flight to the new owner, Excelaire, and was scheduled to land at Embraer's facility in Manaus to refuel. Following the collision, the Legacy 600 landed at the Cachimbo air force base. The FAB says the aircraft, which has a damaged wing from the impact, is under enquiry at Cachimbo and that the crew will undergo a debrief. The images show that the left winglet on the aircraft has been sheared off.

I suspect there isn't much in between the two locations.
I don't know if they will even try and search the area between the collision and the crash. If they do it's going to be an incredibly time intensive task to search all that area in the jungle.
My question, as a non-aero hi-tech accountant, is who owns that 'parked in the jungle' aircraft?
Did ownership change from the factory, if in fact it did?
Isn't this a FOB factory vs destination type issue?
Is that poor businessman located in Long Island owing lease payments on the aircraft parked in the jungle?
Thanks for the information.
Didn't you know there is no more rain forest? It's all logged out, and will never re-grow. /s
