NACA examination pilot Donovan Heinle designed the aircraft's previous flight when he ferried it from Moffett Area to Andrews Air Force Base, arriving on ten August 1954. The aircraft was stored there for 7 many years before Smithsonian personnel trucked it for the museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. http://bbs.01bim.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=1403132
