- October 2011 - Michael Callison from the museum provides us with this update:
The landing light holes were fiberglass over to repair a previous damage from previous accidents. TT-90 has been major repaired around 5 times. Lots of different parts on the aircraft have different serial numbers. We installed the landing lights on the gear legs and put gear doors back on the mains. The engines were overhauled last in 1963 which was quite a while ago. The compressions are good but the right engine was starting to make metal and probably has a camshaft starting to go. Needless to say we would like to get this one back into the air. We spent over $5,000.00 on have the exhaust completely rebuilt before the accident. The replacement nose piece will have landing lights back in it.
- October 2013 - advertised for sale, asking $15,000.

With the repairs to the nose complete, it appears N722T has simply been pushed outside to await a buyer, or more uncertain fate, 2017.
