> sold the giant plane to the Evergreen Aviation Museum

I might be wrong about this, but I think Evergreen was (is?) a front company for the CIA.

No, Evergreen Aviation Museum is an entirely different entity. You're thinking of Evergreen International Airlines.

Different entity but same "Evergreen"—i.e. the same guy founded the airline and the museum.

Evergreen Airlines went bankrupt in 2013. The founder died in 2014. The foundation that owned the museum land went bankrupt in 2016. The museum is operating as non-profit but there isn't anything left to be separate from.
