Does anyone have the msn? I know from the show that they were in South America looking @ an ex-REEVE ALEUTIAN airframe, and the clever guys @ REEVES spliced two damaged airframes together several years ago and ya NEVER know.
I might be able to look it up and track its life from Burpbank to the accident

Saw pictures of the post incident the damage actually isn't that bad, a couple props (hollow AEROPRODUCTS speed props) some removable leading edge pieces, an engine mount or two (#3 took some damage too) and odds and ends tinwork, it's actually a very tough old chicken and given BUFFALOS reputation, it may take a while, but it'll fly again.
