Question Spantax CV-990 at PMI

Hola Amigos,

I´m going to have a stopover at PMI next month. Is there any possibility to visit the Spantax CV-990 parked at the end of the airport suffering a sad fate ?
My very first flight as a passenger was on a Spantax CV-990 back in June ´77 (CGN-GRO), when I was still a little boy. I love this everplane ever since, and still remember the view out of the cockpit onto the impressive GE-Engines lighted by the rotating beacon every second (it was a night flight...). I probably will never know, but maybe the one now parked at Palma was the first plane that ever took me to the sky, and made me decide to become a pilot. (well, later it turned out that I became an aircraft engineer, but it was reasonably close )

Is there any possibility to get to this plane and take some photographs ? Any ground ops people from PMI around ?

muchos gracias
