This P-63 is in reality 43-11728 but is on display at the National Museum of the USAF painted in the unusual colour scheme of a 'pinball' RP-63A. Aerial gunnery students fired at these manned target aircraft (RP-63A and RP-63C) using .30-cal. lead and plastic frangible machine gun bullets which disintegrated harmlessly against the target's external armor plating. Special instruments sent impulses to red lights in the nose of the 'pinball' aircraft, causing them to blink if a hit was registered.
