this P-63 isn't showing up in the Registry or Warbirds Directory. Has anyone seen it lately.

A King Cobra R.I.O.

The rear fuselage looks longer by a foot or so than normal. Did they put a little plug in there?

Which means this info needs to be corrected then.

The Warbird Registry is right on this one in the photograph, NX41964.

But wasn't there a sister ship P-63E with the piggyback configuration and registration NX41963? It may be 43-11734, and be the ex-Chavatal, Wally Fisk, Brian Reynolds, and now Chapman Cobra.

Who knows more and can update?
