SCFA abandoned the restoration of N105CF when it was determined that the post-9/11 FAA wouldn't approve a standard airworthiness certificate for the aircraft. It was stripped by parts by SCFA and HARS before being acquired by Dynamic Aviation who disassembled and moved the aircraft to company headquarters in Bridgewater, VA.
