Grumman F6F-5K Hellcat Chincoteague NAS radio controlled drone Virginia 1949
F6F-5K, Chincoteague Naval Air Station, Virginia, 1949. F6F-5Ks were used in the United States as unpiloted, radio-controlled drones for the testing of air-air missiles and as aerial targets for the training of Navy Marine Corps crews. These, too, carried recognition markings allowing for quick identification and tracking. The diagonal markings on the tail surfaces identified this aircraft as an unpiloted drone.
Stroje F6F-5K sloužící na základnách v USAbyly používány jako rádiem řízené cílové letouny pro zkoušky protiletadlových raketových střel a i jako létající terče během výcviku příslušníků NAVY a Marine Corps. Nosily výrazný marking, umožňující jejich snadnější nalezení a sledování. Šikmé pruhy na směrovce označovaly bezpilotní stroj.
