Looks like a Fisher P-75 Eagle to me.

The PA-48 Enforcer photo is taken in the DRMO yard out at Edwards AFB. I believe this particular fenced-off area is the storage area for the Air Force Flight Test Center Museum. Last I'd heard, it was slated for restoration and placement into the AFFTC museum.

That particular airframe is N482PE.

The plan to put it into the AFFTC museum is particularly humorous, I think, especially since precisely zero USAF pilots ever flew the PA-48.

There is one at the USAF Museum. How many PA-48s were built?

There were only two PA-48s made, N481PE and N482PE. N481PE is at Wright-Patt, and 482 is there at Edwards.

There were two other "Piper Enforcers" made, but they were built 12 years prior and called the PE-1 and PE-2. The PE-2 crashed and was destroyed, and the PE-1 went on to have a long life of flying demonstrations. The airplane is now dismantled and in storage.

Eventually, the PA-48s were made using the PE-1 as a pattern, but there are many differences between the designs, too.

Yeah! Lets keep it going! Randy can you tell us more about the PE-1 and its long career and where it is "living" these days? Any future plans?

Thanks!
Eric
