First delivered to the 1401st ABW, Andrews AFB, Maryland in August 1955, this CH-21 was later assigned to the Presidential fleet at that base. It carried Bobby Kennedy from the Pentagon to Andrews to meet the flight returning President John F Kennedy's remains to Washington following his assassination in Dallas in November 1963. The aircraft was retired from operational service in April 1971 and transferred to the Museum of Aviation from the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB in 1983

The H-21 "Flying Banana", which was originally designed by Piasecki for cold weather operations, performed poorly in the hot weather of Vietnam. Despite being capable of carrying 20 passengers, it could lift only nine when operating there, the engines achieving less than half the standard 600 hours between major overhaul. Despite that, it soldiered on as the US Army's main helicopter workhorse in Vietnam until 1964 when replaced with the Bell UH-1 Huey
