Yes it was. I saw Fred Sebby flying it at the CAF Brown Field show in May, 1986... Hmm and I didn't get any photos that day so it's another airplane to add to my ever growing in memoriam pages of my photo album. I wonder if my friend Sammy has any, hint hint Sammy... (If I've seen an airplane in person and it's gone I add the photo.)
