As of now (and for the foreseeable future) it is not going anywhere. It is a pretty complete aircraft but probably not much could be reused for an airworthy example.

I must confess I'm not sure but that does sound right. I saw the newest restoration - MOTAT's static but "live" systems example - on Friday but didn't really look too closely at it. I do know our sole flyer is a TBM, though. I was going to link to Classic Flyers, the museum doing the restoration I mentioned last time, but my work internet isn't co-operating.
