The "Atlanta" Zero was at the Flying Heritage Collection and recently sold, to Germany I think. My assumption is that it is a Hangar10 acquisition, but just my thoughts.

Which begs the question...where is the Zero now?

I looked at Hangar10's website & Facebook page & there is no mention of the plane. Also checked Red Bull's Collections page & nothing there either.

A “Red Bull” zero? or would that be “Zero Red Bull”.

That's a neat picture of it at NAS Atlanta (now PDK). Some of the buildings look familiar.

As I've posted before, it was a weird artifact to be stored outside adjacent to a museum in downtown Atlanta. It has been removed from that location for about 30 years - hopefully someone is making progress on it.
