Flying this heavily modified Chipmunk Harord Krier flew in the World Aerobatic Championships in 1966 and 1968. Krier also went on to capture the U.S. National Aerobatic Champion title in 1968. His aircraft was ultimately donated to the Airpower Museum in Blakesburg, Iowa. It is on display alongside the Great Lakes that Frank Price flew in the 1st World Aerobatic Championships in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia in 1960.
