That is the former 63-13128 (currently stored at Blaine-Anoka Co, MN, marked as N2036P).
Cf. http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contribut ... k/4742.htm and https://www.jetphotos.com/registration/N2036P)
I know that first website (and some others) says 63-13128 became N87864, but there seems to be a lot of confusion about the civilian registrations of many of the former American Wings Air Museum OV-1s.

No info other than it was used for noise abatement testing.

Should have gone the extra mile and photo shopped a merlin hanging off the nose.

Re the Twin Corsair....
I'd like to see it on its gear!
It would have 6 foot legs and an angle of incidence that would keep it off carriers.

Okay, I actually don't mind this paint scheme. It works well on this old malibu wagon. However, the owner took a not so little amount of time getting this paint scheme done and all the markings to simulate a Flying Tiger P-40 and then puts a P-51 Mustang model on top! Whiskey... Tango... Foxtrot...

I saw the truck/Huey Cobra thing sell at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in Jan. 2020. It brought $55,000.
A bit crude in many areas, the interior/cockpit wasn't particularly well finished.
Also, the late '30s to immediate post-war front fenders and hood look out of place with the more modern helicopter cabin and late-'60s to '80s Chevy stepside rear fenders.

Yeah, it looks a bit mis-matched. I think we could do better :)

Likewise, Twin Bonanza, Twin Pioneer, Twin Navion or Twin Stinson (the original name for the Piper Apache).

If anyone has too much time on their hands, how about an F-104 in the shape of a P-38...or F-86/F-82? :)

"Nice looking beaver" now how often do you get to use THAT in a sentence :drinkers:
