Hi Alex

yes the real Cobra King got a great cosmetic restoration at the Patton museum and was shipped to Ft. Benning in 2011, where I believe it languishes in storage away from the public eye.

Even though it is not the "real" Cobra King, it is still one of I think 8 out of 254 left in the world. So great to see that Jumbo all together in one piece, hope ours turns out half as nice as that one some day!

John

I agree John. A few years ago they pulled this Jumbo, behind a Leopard ARV, through the main street in Bastogne for the remembrance!

Thanks for the update on the real Cobra King.

Alex
