Sweet! What's the story on it - did you acquire it?I've been told this might be a COIN aircraft. The box has Chance Vought markings. Speculate away.
I was talking to Richard and look at the rear... XV-15. I was convinced it was a Vought/Bell colab.I was thinking - "Oh look! Somebody took an OH-6A and put a wing and propellers on it."
Second the appreciation for sharing the photos.

Do you suppose any of this sort of aircraft might resurface today with all of the eVTOL and USAF (well AFSOC at least) interest in reduced runway trquirements? Not necessarily this specific design, but I can help thinking that with modern composites and computer assisted flight controls some of these sort might do well. I suppose the ongoing AFSOC endeavor is as close as one might get.
