Last rumor I heard was it was on its way to Tulsa Ok on a truck, where the new owner was going to do a thorough overhaul/restoration and have her back in the air in the coming airshow season.

I was told by Greg Shelton (spelling?) at ICAS that he had got it and it was going to have a firewall forward done before he flew it in 08 as an aerobatic routine.

It left after New Years Day for Tulsa. When you were there. it was in the front hangar, in front of the B-17, in preparation for loading on a truck.
