English: Originally contracted as F4D-2N Skyray for the US Navy (BuNo 139208-c/n 11282). Due to many production changes was re-designated to F5D-1 Skylancer.

When contracts cancelled in favor of the Vought F8U Crusader this and one of two prototype aircraft, XF5D-1, (143250-c/n 11593) were later used by NASA for various flight test studies.

Plane shown is part of the Merle Maine private collection displayed at Ontario Municipal Airport, Oregon, (KONO/ONO), and as of 2013 is at the Evergreen Air & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. The other Skylancer is displayed at the Neil A. Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
