Dual powered naval fighter with a 1350 h.p. Wright R-1820 and a 1600 lbs thrust GE J-31 in rear fuselage for 'dash to target'. Most examples ordered were cancelled. This aircraft flew with the NACA Ames test facility at Moffett Field California - hence the 'TEST' marking on fuselage. Bought by Ed Maloney in 1967 and stored at Ontario. Later restored at Chino.
