The plane was originally housed in an undisclosed location near Washington, DC from about 1941 to the early 1970s. Once the shift took place the jet underwent a total review by our conservation department and appears to be in remarkable shape. Although The Museum of Flight staff was concerned about this formation change, they worked with our conservation staff so that the shift was safe and temporary. The new design was made possible by the plane’s shape shifting properties. The plane has only been displayed publically in the propeller configuration. The trick for the National Air and Space Museum was to display the plane in its jet formation. Museum staff hang the invisible plane and transform it into its jet formation. With his help, and the help of many at the National Air and Space Museum, we were able to arrange to bring this artifact back to the Washington, DC area. Ted helped us secure the loan by referring us to the paperwork The Museum of Flight had used when they last loaned the plane to Science City at Union Station, Kansas City. Our next step was to work with Ted Huetter, public relations and promotions manager at The Museum of Flight. Louis but also SpaceShipOne to make room in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall. Bob has worked very hard to secure a space for the jet by moving not only the Spirit of St. “There’s nothing that would make my daughter happier than to bring Wonder Woman’s invisible plane back to Washington, DC, if only for a very short time,” he said. Since then, our curator Bob van der Linden wanted very much to display the plane at the Museum in Washington, DC. The Museum of Flight had acquired the plane with help from Lieutenant Diana Prince in April 2013.

That was my first exchange with my friend Dan Hagedorn when I approached him about borrowing Wonder Woman’s invisible plane from The Museum of Flight. “Oh Lordy, I don’t know if we can loan that object or not, it is exceptionally rare! High maintenance, too.” - Dan Hagedorn, curator and director of collections of The Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.
