Painted with fake Exército Brasileiro (Brazilian Army) serial "EB-001" and the emblem of Comando de Fronteira Solimões / 8º BIS on the tail. This aircraft is former Aviopacifico DC-3 HC-ALD, impounded at the border town of Tabatinga circa 1997. This is where the Rio Amazonas meets the borders of Brazil, Peru and Colombia. The plane remained stored at Tabatinga airport until Oct 2011, when it was preserved in the garden in front of the local zoo/museum in Tabatinga, a 10 minute walk from the airport. The cabin and cockpit are in a terrible state, because they are accessible. Data plate was checked and confirmed as ex USAAF 42-100583.
