They also experimented with
modified P-51 Mustangs for Ground Support. Here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-48_Enforcer The Enforcer lost out to the OV-10.
I was stationed at Eglin tower when two Enforcers were evaluated there for 2 months I believe. They were very cool looking, basically a P51 w/ a turbine engine.
