The move of the aircraft to CWH is definite, according to my sources there. (It will be in the new museum guidebooks that's about to be printed). The aircraft presently belongs to the Canada Aviation museum, and as they already have Voodoo 101025, I guess they wanted to find another home for it.

There was a plan to move the aircraft to Carp circa 2000, but it never happened. I heard that the reason was that '045 was missing its nose gear. Presumably, a nose gear has been found for it elsewhere. I don't have a feel for when the move will happen, but it will be a big job, and I suspect that the aircraft will have to be dismantled into a lot of pieces to make it small enough to move.
