NACA test pilot Donovan Heinle created the aircraft's previous flight when he ferried it from Moffett Subject to Andrews Air Force Foundation, arriving on 10 August 1954. The aircraft was stored there for seven decades right before Smithsonian personnel trucked it to the museum's Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. http://www.drugoffice.gov.hk/gb/unigb/kowear.com/american-fighter/
