Of course.  America's 1st jet fighter.

Our P-59A "Airacomet" was accepted from Bell Aircraft on the 25th of September, 1944. Later in her career, October of 1945, she was stationed at March Air Force Base. After service with the Air Force, our "Airacomet", serial number 44-22614, was used as an instructional airframe at a technical school in Santa Maria, California. This aircraft is the only remaining P-59A aircraft of the twenty production P-59A aircraft built.

Only 6 known to exist in the world. Sheesh.
