I think this one needs to go to the Tennessee Museum of Aviation and keep Lt. America company! I mean they already have a pair of matching Thunderbolts, its about time they had a pair of matching Skyraiders!

Any idea who had it and the story behind the quick sale - or was it simply pulled from the market last time?

I believe it's been with it's current owner 7-8 years now. The last time I recall seeing in the hands of Dr. Schloss was back in 2003. I would love to see it come back to the east coast or midwest. "Naked Fanny" used to be a regular at many of the shows I went to back then, and Schloss always did a great job displaying it. Even flew an aerobatic routine in it once at Warbirds Over Kalamazoo... weird seeing the big ol' pig of a Skyraider doing a barrel roll! Anyone know what he's up to these days?

Can anyone out West report - has she been seen at any airshows yet? Any plans for this old girl for the WIXer crowd?

Can anyone say who has her now? Any contact info? The folks planning the Skyraider Assoc Reunion were asking ...

Last registration change was in Nov 2013.

Whatever happened to Conrad's Wildcat, where has it gone, who has it now? I'll settle for where has it gone? And what about Conrad, what's up with him these days, I wonder? It was sure fun when he dropped in here and shared a little about his Wildcat, what an impressive guy.

To Conrad & Wildcats!

The Wildcat is still here in Uvalde along with Conrad. We have several STC projects going that Conrad is involved with and also the running of Wild Warbirds which are working on a variety of warbirds and trainers lately.
