NACA test pilot Donovan Heinle designed the aircraft's last flight when he ferried it from Moffett Field to Andrews Air Force Base, arriving on 10 August 1954. The aircraft was saved there for 7 years just before Smithsonian personnel trucked it on the museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. https://doodleordie.com/profile/mimosakitten94
