Aircraft number 1026 was selected for inclusion in the collection in recognition of its role as one of the first unmanned aircraft deployed to Iraq by the Army as a tactical combat resource.

The veteran aircraft will be delivered to the museum's Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility in Silver Hill, MD where it will be readied for eventual display, according to the company."
