This was the third and last D-558-1 built. Built under USN contract with BuNo 37972, it was delivered new directly to NACA in 1949. The a/c conducted 78 flights with NACA and was retired 10 June 1953. It is currently at the Sullenberger Aviation Museum (formerly the Carolinas Aviation Museum) in Charlotte, North Carolina.
