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.

Do you have any information on airframe or registration? I'm not finding anything myself. Pretty sure those are J34 pods though.

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

Obviously photoshopped but still... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

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

Nice looking Beaver....now I'd like to see a real Twin Otter....

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:
