NACA examination pilot Donovan Heinle designed the aircraft's previous flight when he ferried it from Moffett Industry to Andrews Air Force Base, arriving on ten August 1954. The aircraft was stored there for 7 many years before Smithsonian personnel trucked it to your museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. http://historydb.date/index.php?title=selfmccleary8952
