Brazil is a nightmare. I've just spent the last few days trying to figure out how to get this plane into a container. It seems that you need to be an "exporter" to ship anything out of Brazil in a container.

But since the seller (a person) isn't an exporter and neither am I and neither of us are companies, it looks like a giant bureaucratic hairball with unknown costs and times.

So I'm back to the idea of flying it. One person PM-ed me and suggested getting the plane N registered to appeal to a broader population of ferry pilots. That would make me legal to fly it as well. Does anyone have experience with N registration of a foreign aircraft? How much would it cost, how long, etc? I am a US citizen with FAA license.

And any ferry pilots with float endorsements now interested? ;-)
