In 1956 she became a range target at China Lake, California, and remained there until 1998. First civil registered in 1994 as N6735C with the National Museum of Naval Aviation, she became N44697 in 1998 when she was moved the short distance to Inkoyern for the US Aviation Museum. She was reregistered again in July 1998, becoming N69972, her current registration. In 2000 she was dismantled and moved to Wichita, Kansas for return to flying condition.
