Awhile back someone mentioned that the Lone Star Flight Museum sold or was close to selling their Wildcat. Did it sell and if so where did it go?

The last thing I heard (and this was several months ago) is that it is undergoing a thorough overhall and maintenance period and then will be flown the regurallry

I think the new owner is Greg Shelton and he is planning to use it in an aeorbatic act. May be confused with another one but I am pretty sure this is the one he bought.

That's who I thought bought it. I'll check my latest "World Air Show News" and look for his ad. If I recall correctly the ad had a photo of the Wildcat.
