The aircraft was sold to Dan Friedkin in 2008 (based in Texas). The aircraft remains unchanged since the combination TFC/Pacific Fighters restoration that was completed in 2005. Last year the aircraft was shipped to England and flown at Duxford again, for the 2013 Spring show and Flying Legends, before being shipped back to the US.

Thanks John.

I take that the paint scheme is still Gentile's Shangri-La'?

No Mereno, that was an older scheme from years ago. It's still (I believe, unless it's been changed lately) "Princess Elizabeth"

Yeah, it makes sense considering the previous owners.

Thanks Mark.

As a Gentile fan, I'd love to see a B/C painted in his colors.
Is this the same aircraft that (back in the 80s, IIRC) that they tried to do a trade with the NMUSAF but couldn't work a deal.
The story at the time was they wanted a C-130A....
