New Addition: R-Kitty

In the 1950s, the Army National Guard Anti-Aircraft Artillery Unit used RCAT target drones by Aerolab to practice their gunnery.  A smaller Aerolab drone, similar to the RCAT, called the R-Kitty, was used by the RCAT operators to practice flight operations.

Thank you, John, for helping to grow the museum's collection! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the National Model Aviation Museum, including our location, hours and admission fees visit: www.modelaircraft.org/museum
