Wartime History
Abandoned on its gear at Babo Airfield. The engine was removed, possibly to prevent straffing or for servicing. An Aichi Atsuta liquid cooled V-12 was located in the grass nearby.

Recovery & Storage
Recovered in 1991 by Bruce Fenstermaker, to the United States for the Santa Monica Museum of Flight. Later it was purchased by the Planes of Fame Museum, and is displayed unrestored at Planes of Fame Arizona in three sections, tail, main section and engine.

Ed Maloney, museum founder adds:
"We would like to one day restore the Judy but there are so few parts and we have so many other projects currently."
