Wouldn't it be nice if it went to a secret owner, then we would know what secret hangar it would be in.

Jack Croul doesn't own Vintage Airframes. Mike Breshears does and he's at Nampa, ID by the Warhawk Air Museum. But, showing up unannounced is considered "bad form" :idea:
Jack Croul doesn't own a warbird company persay but his a/c are operated by and cared for by Allied Fighters based in Chino by the tower.
BTW Jack Croul is quite a good fellow. If you ever have the chance shake his hand, do so and thank him for the good work he doing preserving these warbirds.
