Baugher P-51B-1-NA 43-12094 assigned to NACA Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, NAS Moffett Field, CA Nov 16, 1944 to Sep 9, 1947 Used for aerodynamics research. The propeller of the aircraft was removed and its oil and coolant ducts blocked so that it resembled the wind tunnel model. The aircraft was towed aloft by a P-61 and released. Careful measurements of longitudinal deceleration were used to determine aircraft drag, and the pilot of the Mustang made a powerless, gliding landing.Used for transonic model tests

But I wouldn't say that's the A-36 Apache.
Not sure whether gentle sarcasm or? but A-36 first flew 3 months after Kindelberger formally requested of Army Public Relations that all NAA figters bereferred to as the Mustang (and T-6 'Texan' and B-25 'Mitchell'). Only the P-51-NA was briefly named Apache in May/June 1942. Informal attempts in the field were made the A-36 the 'Invader'
 
wurger is reacting to the sellers comment i think
