Hellcat drone BuNo 72220 + the coolest toy ever

Found this one on the H.A.M.B. (Hokey A$$ Message Board):

Supposed to be at Dayton in 1953. The wings look like horizontal stabilizers from... something.

That looks like Diemerts first Defender prototype. I'd recogize that front gear anywhere.

He will never live that down and shouldn't be able to.

They look like horizontals from an F6F, which would make sense, considering the drone in the background.

Sure wish the rest of that F6F-5K was visible in this great color shot!
