This shot shows a few different tails, all flying together.

And here's a site with photos of various Cavalier variations (click the photo to see the others)

Funny...that's a website that I put together one day when I was stuck in bed, home sick from work one day.

Those are all actually the same vertical stabilizer size/shape. Some just do not have the fillet at the front of the vertical stab (the B/C model and the early D model).

How about performance specs on the Piper Enforcer? They must have been impressive.

Re: Trans FL & Cavalier Aviation ?

I also have a SA-32T patch, probably just as rare, much better looking patch design. The old man worked for crazy eddie down on the southside as well. However, thats a story for another time. (Perhaps the only person here who will get that reference is King

WOW, I thought the SA-32T was a great aircraft. It's baby brother raced at Reno this year again.

Re: Trans FL & Cavalier Aviation ?

I have several really nice shot's of the Enforcer out front the Eglin hanger all bombed up ... Currently one is in the AF museum and as someone else mentioned the other is awaiting restoration at Edwards ... Have read they could hold there own in the pattern with the fast movers and were allowed to use the same runway as them ...

Have some nice pic's of the YAT-28E's as well from the mid to late 60's ... I think there is one of them maybe at Chino ? awaiting a disposition ..

Am a big fan of the On Mark Invader stuff as well ... Isn't there a few still flying out in CA ?

Is funny that some of those same concept's of the small turbine powered COIN aircraft is alive today with the " New " AT-6B and the Super Tucano ..

Re: Trans FL & Cavalier Aviation ?

I like the Executive models, of which the most useful option is the Freon air conditioning system with eyeball vents. I know there were a few tip tank options too, was there ever an official wet wing by Cavalier?

I don't think that full-on air conditioning was a factory Cavalier option, although the canopy-frame WEMAC vents were.

There were about 5 different fuel tank options in the wings -- different combinations of the standard 92-gallon wing tank, a 48-gallon internal wing tank, a 63-gallon wing tank, and the 110-gallon tips. None of them were full wet wing options out of the gate.

Does anyone have the Enforcer performance specs handy?

Can you be a little more specific about what you're looking for? Combat radius? Useful load? Max endurance? Landing distance?

Give it all to us Randy!

I didn't know. Chuck Doyle's had it, and I thought of Trans Florida. There were probably a few different companies converting Mustangs then, i only know of On-Mark because we lived in SoCal and Trans Florida because my Dad ferried Mustangs down there for conversion.
