Three Cosmic Winds were built at Lockheed's between 1947 and 1948 and a fourth rather later.
 A fifth was also built in the US by amateur constructors.
 The last example was built in the UK as late as 1972.
 The type was not particularly successful in competitions in the 1940s, coming only 3rd and 4th in the 1947 Goodyear Trophy races.
One example of the first three, named Ballerina and exported to the UK as G-ARUL, won the King's Cup Race of 1964;  it remains active in the UK, and is a regular participant in air displays.
 The UK-built Cosmic Wind remains on the civil aircraft register as G-BAER, but currently (2010-10) lacks a Permit to Fly.

In the US, the amateur-built example is now in the EAA AirVenture Museum, Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
 Another Cosmic Wind, built or modified with a shoulder rather than low wing, is in the Planes of Fame museum, Chino.
