This is FJ-3 Fury 136119 as seen in the early 80's in storage at the Marine Air / Ground Museum at MCAS Quantico.







With the closure of this museum this aircraft was rescued and totally restored. It is currently on display at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.



You can fly this beautiful aircraft as well....... updated following feedback

nice skin...

it looks like the gun ports are in the wrong location, though

[Spartan10590]

Because its a hack of the F-86.

The F-86 is armed with 6x .50 cals while the Fury has 4x 20mm cannons. To make things look right when the guns are firing, he chose to paint the gun ports on as they are found on the Sabre and simply omitted the center port on each side to make things look closer to the Fury.

It is a very nice skin though, I'm waiting for that download link

It is a compromise, we do not have the FJ-3 in the game (yet !) and so the ports are positioned close enought to the fixed gun flashes so as not to be that noticable when playing.

Happy to post a skin with them in the correct position though, if people really want it.

I was writing my reply when Spartan10590 replied in my defence (thank you). The offer still stands to post an alternative skin if requested.

Nice!

[VC-81_BOLTER]

Have you tried to launch with the carrier catapult mod yet?

[Guest]

Oh yes, and it works really well ... all we need now is the tail hook...

Beautiful job! The Fury was always a favorite of mine. It was the A/C that we had at the jet engine school in Millington Tenn (Navel Air Technical Training School ADJ "A" ) that we got to start up and run.
Opps, I guess I just dated myself! LOL!
