Champion model, eric.

(This is an obscure joke. "Champion" in Northern English usage means superb or excellent, while the drummer on Coldplay's hit song "Speed of sound" was one Mike Champion. Really, I think I ought to get my coat on the way out.)

But still Navy aircraft.
The X7 was, according to my very quick research, an Air Force project.  Would Air Force and Navy share airfields?
(There are also two of what look like T-33s but they were used by both services)

It could have been at Edwards AFB, or whatever it was called before it was renamed. All the US services used it way back when.
