Not sure if the same aircraft as the 2007 crash, but a plane I flew years ago crashed in the Pacific somewhere:
I flew this plane on floats in saltwater 1984/85.
All the salt going in the tail section without being rinsed out daily and flap brackets that correoded away to half thickness after a year in the salt made me nervous and I quit the job.
Years later I tracked the tail number and found it on wheels in the Pacific, just after it crashed and killed everybody.
Tail number when I flew it was N-784DL.
DL for Don Lewis, owner of the company.
Edit:
Found it, same airplane that I flew on floats/
