Pictures from the NAS P'cola museum

Sorry guys, did some adjustments in the site last night (deleted a bunch of duplicate pics) so the needle moved. Here is the one Jim was asking about.

The pic that came up when I clicked on the link looked nothing like the kit that was pictured on the site for the drone.
It does appear to be an AM-1 Mauler.

Actually jimz66 I thought the picture you was wondering about looked to me more like a Martin AM-1 Mauler. But then again I have been wrong before.

Thanks for the information Phil. Take care.

Here is another link with more history on the drone

Jim,
It is an Interstate TDR drone developed for the Navy during WWII.
You can read an article on scratchbuilding it and a couple other varients over on Hyperscale

Nice photography, Matt - thanks for sharing it. A truly awesome collection of aircraft.

Wright-Pat. is a really great museum! They have just opened a whole new hangar there last July. It's totally dedicated to the cold-war, when I was there right before it opened we were allowed to walk over and look in... that B-36 is just amazing! I'll be going back in the next couple of weekends I'll try to get some pictures. (Try to do half as good a job as you guys!) As for Pensacola, I sure do hope that they can still get this forum meet together! Has anybody heard if they're making progress on it?

Great shots, especially liked your detail shots. I got to go there in May. Currenty have over 150 pics up on my site http://www.ipmsslc.com/photo/thumbnails.php?album=37
I second him. This is a great museum if you are a naval aircraft fan or just like planes. They have planes that I have only seen pictures of (or models of). Now, if I can just get to Wright Pat...

Tons of great pics, thanks!

Some nice pics there, mattp. That Wildcat is WEATHERED ! Wow !
Thanks for sharing them with us.
