I believe Coonts sold the Cannibal Queen several years ago.


Mr. Coonts said, "I am often asked if I still own the Queen, that marvelous
1942 Stearman biplane that stars in the book. Alas, Deborah and I sold her
in December, 1998, and recycled the money into other airplanes. Whenever
Deborah and I go flying these days, which is every chance we get, we go in
our 1978 Cessna T-310. Or our 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Or in our experimental
plane, a Breezy. Or in our brand new 1953 Cessna 170B."
