NACA examination pilot Donovan Heinle built the aircraft's previous flight when he ferried it from Moffett Area to Andrews Air Force Foundation, arriving on ten August 1954. The aircraft was saved there for 7 decades before Smithsonian personnel trucked it for the museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland.
