Does anyone recall whatever happened to Ed Shipley's F-86 Sabre?

I recall hearing somewhere that he sold it to someone that was going to keep it flying...?

I was going through some old film negatives this evening and a few shots of this aircraft came up. Made me wonder..............

Owned and flown by the Friedkins.

Thanks Rich. I'm assuming that she was repainted?

Is this the one being rebuilt at Fighter Rebuilders? They are going pretty hard on one right now, and pretty sure it is for Friedkin Family.

It was rebuilt at FR a couple years back or so.
