Hello,

Where is the original Wrong-Way Corrigan Curtiss Robin. Corrigan still had this when he died in 1995, but curious where it went to from there.

From what I've read and heard it is still owned by the family and is in storage in Santa Ana somewhere.

I could be way off but I think I saw an article in Pacific Flyer several years ago that indicated it was going to the San Diego Air and Space Museum.

there's a pictures of it in the following link at the 1988 Hawthorne Air Faire. Apparently, it had been stored in his garage for decades and after the show, it went back into his garage. I believe his relative still have it in storage. It's a shame that this famous aircraft isn't on display...as is.
