KA114 was transported to a farm near Milo, Alberta, where it remained for the next 30 years. In 1978 Ed Zalesky obtained the remains of KA114 for the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation. Jerry Yagen’s Fighter Factory purchased the remains of KA114 in 2004. The project was transferred to Avspecs in New Zealand for restoration to flying condition.
