Cut up into souvenir key fobs, sadly. Not sure if the cockpit has been saved by the outfit that bought it.

I had no idea that is what had happened to the Soplata YB-36, very unfortunate. Bought by keychain peddlers.

Too bad the photographer didn't take an introduction to cinematography course.
Constant pans and zooms looks like bad home movies...and makes me seasick.
I appreciated the limitations of "editing in the can"...i.e. Not editing...but a few moments of thought would have been helpful.
