Stored at various military bases after delivery in 1945 as 44-68334, this Cadet target drone was activated by the Flight Test Division of the Wright Air Development Center in March 1949. Test flying in the TIPTOW Fighter Range Extension Project, the aircraft was retired after more than 231 test couplings when it collided with the C-47 tow plane due to a mechanical failure on February 21, 1950. Now part of the EAA Museum collection, the aircraft is still carrying it's civil registration although it was actually cancelled in 2015.
