This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Anybody have any pictures of this before it crashed in 1981? Anybody know its current status? Is it still stored?
what information I have can be found here:

It's still in storage/long-term restoration with McPhearson. The main spar was broken in the crash, which normally would render the plane into the "spare parts" category. Fortunately, McPhearson bought another (FG-1D) center wing section out of St. Louis years ago to help reestablish the project as a viable candidate for airworthiness.
