The insurer was Chantis. Actually this is the old AIG Insurance unit that has been placed into a special vehicle while the US Government bails out AIG.

The aircraft has been offered for sale as scrap. And lots of people are interested.

So go here to see the pictures and then you can even register to bid.

Chantis/AIG have had so much interest in the plane that they have even put up a little notice to that effect.
