On display at the Museum of Flight. This twin-seat Quiet Star was designed to operate as an observation aircraft to spot night-time activity. It was equipped with a night vision and infrared downward-facing periscope that was operated by the observer in the front seat. The Quiet Star was nearly silent, and this aircraft, one of only 11 built served in Vietnam from 1970-72.
