Inside the hangar at Planes of Fame Air Museum. This airworthy Cadet was delivered as target drone 44-21895 to the USAAF for live gunnery practice. It was radio-controlled, had a retractable landing gear and rudimentary control panel, which allowed it to be flown by a ferry pilot when required. A total of 2,043 were built, of which very few survive. Most were blasted out of the sky by AA gunners.

Stored at various military bases after delivery in 1945 as 44-68334, this Cadet target drone was activated by the Flight Test Division of the Wright Air Development Center in March 1949. Test flying in the TIPTOW Fighter Range Extension Project, the aircraft was retired after more than 231 test couplings when it collided with the C-47 tow plane due to a mechanical failure on February 21, 1950. Now part of the EAA Museum collection, the aircraft is still carrying it's civil registration although it was actually cancelled in 2015.

In August 1940 the USAAC joined in the development of radio-controlled target aircraft for training anti-aircraft artillery gunners. These unmanned targets would be controlled by radio signals from the ground or a 'mother' aircraft but would be able to be manually flown for ferry flights or check flights. This example, wearing a typical high-vis WWII scheme, is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.
