Another J.P. Stewart photo t in my collection. This Mustang was modified by Cavalier Aircraft to an F-51 Mustang II it then flew as chase plane for helicopter programs for the US Army Aviation Material Command.

Previously civilian-owned as N6322T. It was assigned to the Army Engineering Flight Faciility at Edwards AFB, and used as a chase plane during the development program of the AH-56A Cheyenne helicopter.

Originally built under USAAF contract as serial 44-72990, the aircraft still displays remnants of the markings from its service in the RCAF. In 1967 it was sold to the U.S. Army. Photo by David Menard.
