129314 was converted to a drone in 1957 and made the first drone helicopter flight without a safety pilot on 30 July 1957. See other photo for the same airframe in a very different setting, with the Navy and 'A Joint Army - Navy Program' markings overpainted. Oddly Robert Kelly took both shots in the same series for Life magazine. Photo by: Robert Kelley / Life
