Of the dozen examples of the type ordered by the U.S. Army, only a single example of the HZ-1 has survived, and this aircraft is currently on display in the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, Newport News, Virginia

I've seen this vehicle at Fort Eustis Army Transportation Museum, which is now part of Joint Base Langley Eustis. That's a combination Air Force/NASA/Army base resulting from the BRAC business. It was an interesting, major league bit o' jiggery pokery. The U.S. Army Transportation School and Center moved seventy miles to Fort Lee, VA. Fort Monroe, the longest continually occupied military installation in the country was decommissioned and given to the state as a monument and museum and its tenant, TRADOC, the Army Training and Doctrine Command, was moved into Ft. Eustis. That base was combined with Langley AFB which houses the 633rd Air Base Wing, Air Force Command and Control Integration Center, and NASA experimental facilities. Somehow the huge Army Transportation Museum remains on-site at Eustis despite the associated activity having departed.
