I believe it is next in line for restoration after AK753. I'm not sure if it has flown since being delivered to Granite Falls.

Why the huge gap on the spinner of AK753? Different dash number Allison than the usual? Looks a bit odd.

I has a HAMILTON STANDARD prop on it, instead of the CURTISS ELECTRIC. The two props just dont mount to the spinner in the same fashion. I am sure with the quailty of the K they just finished it will have a curtiss electric or a spinner made to fit the HAM STD that looks more authentic.

I think in the last Warbird Digest it said something about the 38' being next for restoration, not sure how long it's going to take, though
