That looked like an A36 Apachee. It's a Mustang airframe with an Allison engine before airframe was mated with Rolls-Royce Merlin. US Army used them as Dive-Bombers and also had some photo-recon versions.

That it is. Have seen that particular plane several times, and have my own pictures of it. It is in the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Great place to visit.

I thought only 5 were made. Have more been turned out?
For you out there going "huh?" the Russians still had the original production machinery for those planes from WW II. An American spotted it and after some negotiations, got the Russians to set up and run off 5 airframes. They have US engines as the Russians engines no longer exist.
