The Pogo was tested from April 1954 to November 1956, but technical problems couldn't be overcome before aviation progress passed it by. It was displayed at Naval Air Station Norfolk,VA until 1973 when it was transferred to the National Air and Space Museum. Photographed here in the museum's Paul E. Garber Storage Facility.
