Funny - I was wondering what happened to this plane just the other day...
Edit: Never mind, I did a little internet digging, the plane is now in TX with a different paint job.

I took this picture at the King City (California) airport sometime around 1977-78. My family was farming nearby and saw the plane a few times coming and going so I stopped by to see.
