It its any help, the last location I know of for the ONE AND ONLY sample of this aircraft was in Amarillo, TX. Originally given to a nursery school in Santa Monica by McDonnell Douglas after they lost the C140 contract, it was supposed to never fly again. A wheat farmer from Nebraska discovered it and purchased it from the nursery school, vacummed over 3000 pounds of dirt and sand from it, and then flew it, out of license and without FAA sanction, to Deer Valley Airpark in Phoenix. The aircraft was later sold and flown, again without FAA blessing, to Albquerque NM. After a number of years setting on the ramp it was sold again and taken to Amarillo. Reportedly by persons who have flown the aircraft said it flew very well. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you develop a sim;
