B-25 info

What is the status of the B-25 which used to be at the Milestones of Flight Museum in Calif? I knew it was acquired by someone after the museum closed a couple/three years ago.

Anyone know anything about its use with Hughes?

I know the wings were undergoing restoration at Aero Trader and the nose and center section was undergoing restoration at Ezell (not sure if it is the same center section now at AirCorps Aviation or if that is a completely separate project - the primer finishes seem to match). The owner registration is linked to the Hearst family (San Simeon), of the late William Randolph Hearst, Jr, who was friends with Howard Hughes and who I've read flew on the aircraft a few times in the 50's, during the very limited time while it was active.
