Stearman N2S-3 N6628C

Hi
I was idly looking through my late father's log book where he recorded his Royal Navy flying training at Lambert Field in 1944 and googling the serial numbers comes up with serial number 38062 which he last flew May 16 1944 on a B stage check. A further Google check leads me to believe that this aircraft ( MSN 75-7683 ) was still around in 2006 as N6628C. That year it was apparently sold to Brazil.

I would be interested to know if it was still extant.

Many Thanks

Thanks Dave. That was quick
Probably in better condition than when my father flew it in 1944.
Regards
