    At least one source indicates the airframe went to Steven Detch in Atlanta, GA, but this transfer apparently never happened.

    From 1990 to By 2001

    There may have been an effort by Steven A. Detch of Alpharetta, GA, to acquire these remains, but apparently they did not leave the Soplata property.

    2002

    Last spotted in the Soplata collection.
