NACA test pilot Donovan Heinle designed the aircraft's last flight when he ferried it from Moffett Area to Andrews Air Force Base, arriving on 10 August 1954. The aircraft was saved there for seven yrs right before Smithsonian staff trucked it on the museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. https://studybird.in/members/saltvise94/activity/465023/
