Didn't the Quonset Air Museum have a Hellcat when the museum closed.? If so where is it now?

At least the one seems to have gone back to USN Museum control.

The registry says that the Quonset Hellcat was under restoration to airworthy. Surely that was a typo considering the aircraft was on loan from the Navy? If it cannot go somewhere that it can be made flyable then I too would love to see it end up at Pima.
