In the outside display area at the museum. Previously displayed as NASA N705NA, it was being repainted at the time I took the photo. Ex 62-4506, assigned to NASA Ames Research Center as NASA 705 from March 1964 - January 1971 testing BLC control, VTOL , and S/VTOL research for the US Army. Major damage on 5 October 1966 during search and rescue aircraft feasibility trials. The pilot was fatally injured. Repaired and converted from XV-5A to XV-5B and retired in 1971. Registered with the FAA as N705NA on 25 June 1969, registration cancelled 11 March 1974. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
