UPDATE (from Aviation Week Paris Air Show magazine 17 June 2009)
"As part of Embraer's 40th Anniversary celebrations, the two prototypes of the Brazilian-Argentinian CBA 123 Vector 19-seat twin-turboprop pusher commuter airliner/business aircraft are being restored. The project began in February 2008 in a partnership with 36 general mechanics students from Brazil's National Industrial Apprenticeship Service. Restoration of the second CBA 123 prototype,, PT-ZVB, was finished in May. The first prototype, PT-ZVE, which made its maiden flight on August 18, 1990, will be completed in July, which it will initially go on show at Embraer's headquarters, after which the two CBA 123s will find permanent homes in aerospace museums in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Jose dos Campos."
