That is one of the information sites I used for a vast majority of the information. Cape Girardeau was discovered on another site as "Last Known Whereabouts". Thanks for the heads-up, cheers!
I looked at the photos of the Beaver before its incident and it's difficult to reconcile its 1980 photos with how it looked in the movie. What happened? It looked like it had been rode extra-hard and put away wet in such a short time. I cringed when I saw it in its condition on the movie and writhed in fear when I saw the wreck. I don't care what anyone says: the Beaver is the most rugged, simple, hardworking, earnest, humble, forgiving and beautiful plane in exitsence. To see this one in the film as it was was saddening.
But nonetheless, I just might get a model of it and paint it up to look exactly as it did in the movie. Scary to think I first saw this plane 27 years ago on film...glad she got her deserved life as she has now.
