The M20T Predator, a canopy-equipped version of the basic M20 design powered by a Lycoming AEIO-540 engine, was Mooney's entrant in the USAF Enhanced Flight Screener competition. The prototype, built in 1991, displayed in a tiger-stripe paint scheme. The contract was won by the ill-fated Slingsby T-67 Firefly, and the M20T was not developed or certified. The sole prototype, registered N20XT, was flown in the Experimental - Market Surveycategory and was still owned by Mooney Aircraft in 2013, although its registration had expired November 30, 2013.[

The M20T Predator lived at Lakeland Florida for some period.

Perhaps some Mooney space members in the Florida Mooneys group can expand the story of how and why this one of a kind Mooney was in Florida.

The Home to Sun N Fun has several Military and Civilian planes in static display..most are suffering display in the Sun as in out door display.

I'm glad to learn this Mooney has returned to its maker and will enter a period of preservation. The Predator cleans up nicely, The photos I have of it at Lakeland and my memories of it at Lakeland were sad.

( I believe the names that appear on the Landing gear cover were members of the team involved with Predator History)
