	You can see this aircraft destroyed in James Bond's film "Live and Let Die" 1973. It's parked in a hanger and a '73 Chevy chase car rams it in the center of the fuselage. I guess that explains why the registration status shows "Revoked". I also imagine that the owner was reimbursed well enough to forever lose this beauty.

	It would seem that this aircraft was most likely a Hanger Queen at the time of the 007 film. NTSB Identification: MIA68F0303 shows it had already suffered “Substantial Damage” from a forced landing on Nov 19, 1967 when it stalled avoiding trees. IMO it must have been un-repairable and therefore sacrificed for the good of the movie.
