The aircraft were seized in 1989 by US customs and given to the Wings of Eagles Museum in Elmira NY. After a holding period the Museum was given permission to sell the aircraft. The current owner purchased the aircraft from a museum, and it is now FAA registered.  Customs provided a full release on the aircraft enabling the civilian ownership
