On June 18, 2020, various government agencies coordinated a training mission with the Alaska Army National Guard to remove the bus, deemed a public safety issue after numerous visitor rescue incidents and the deaths of Ackermann and Nikanava. It was flown out of the wilderness by a CH-47 Chinook helicopter to Healy and then by flatbed truck to an undisclosed location. On September 24, 2020, the Museum of The North at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks announced that it had become the permanent home of Bus 142, which will be restored and an outdoor exhibit will be created.
