Does anyone know the status of this plane, or when it flew last?

Owned and operated by John Bagley out of the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg Idaho. Saw it fly in June of this year at the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum show. I think I have a pic...

I was at that show as well, the P-63 was one of the biggest highlights for me.

Neat early Jeep as well. One of the early Ford GPs.

The museum has a nice collection of vehicles too! I believe a couple of Jeeps, motorcycles, an ambulance, and a half track.

The Half-track is always a crowd pleaser. Nice M16.
