Grumman Firebird

Does anyone know where this was on static?
Also did it fly in during arrivals? I saw it being towed on departures but it didn't fly. Did it arrive in the back of a transport support?

Was located in the VIP Area, in Blue Zone. Accessible though.

And no, it was roaded in.

Thanks.At least I saw it being towed. It looked unusual and nice to see something different.
