Jet Involved in Brazil Midair Back on U.S. Soil

The Embraer Legacy 600 that was involved in the midair collision with a Gol Transportes Aéreos Boeing 737 on Sept. 29, 2006, arrived on November 19 at Cleveland (Ohio) Hopkins International Airport after a ferry flight from Eduardo Gomes International Airport in Manaus, Brazil. The Legacy 600-now registered as N965LL-was recovered by a mobile repair team from Cleveland-based Constant Aviation, which was hired by the new owners of the Legacy to recover and repair the jet. Last month that airplane was flown from the military airbase in Cachimbo, where the twinjet made an emergency landing after the midair, to Manaus in northern Brazil.
