NACA check pilot Donovan Heinle built the aircraft's past flight when he ferried it from Moffett Area to Andrews Air Force Foundation, arriving on ten August 1954. The aircraft was stored there for 7 years just before Smithsonian personnel trucked it towards the museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. http://historydb.date/index.php?title=hejlesenclarke6409
