Taylor also flew ''Victoria '76'' to the North Pole and hung onto her for several more years, using her as almost routine transportation from his isolated ranch in the California desert. In the early 1980s he had offered the T-18 to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. for display, but he was unable to obtain a firm agreement from them to display her to the public as he wished. ''Victoria '76'' is now on display at the Experimental Aircraft Association 's AirVenture museum in Oshkosh. Taylor has maintained an active involvement and interest in aviation. He was on a mission-control team supporting the round-the-world flight of the Rutan Voyager in December Of 1986 . Taylor retired at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Air Force in 1962, having seen action during World War II in South and Southeast Asia, and also during the Korean War .
