The J1N1-C reconn Irving was modified to become the nightfighter Gekko (moonlight) by incorporating an upward firing gun where the observer once sat. This is the last Gekko extant and is on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
