'Weightless Wonder VI' along with two other NASA aircraft were part of the static display at the Wings over Houston air show 2011. She was photographed as late in the day as possible, whilst dodging the police/stewards trying to clear the site, in order to minimise the number of people/legs in the shot.

In the early 1970s Lockheed's L-300 demonstrator was converted into NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory, and fitted with a 36-inch infrared telescope between the cockpit and wing. A cover retracted when in use. It was able to get above most of the atmospheric water vapour that affected terrestrial optical telescopes. Ex Lockheed demonstrator N4141A, N714NA retired in 1995 and has been preserved at Moffett Field. It was replaced by a Boeing 747SP.

This Electra, the third one built, was originally an L-188A, but was converted to YP3V-1, then YP-3A and delivered to the Navy as BuNo 148276. It was then converted to NP-3A and used by NASA as 927. It later went to the Naval Air Museum.

Ex-USAF 62-5924. Long before the V-22 Osprey came along, extensive tests were conducted with five examples of this tilt-wing design, with a first conventional flight in 9.64 and vertical take-off with transition to normal flight and back for vertical landing in 1.65. Excessive vibration and noise from the cross-linked drive shaft and wing flexing were major problems, but the concept showed promise. A joint USAF/Army/Navy project, the USN withdrew and interest faded, the last LTV XC-142A flying into the USAFM in 1970
