FJ-4 Fury (World Fighter Aircraft Collection)
FJ-4 Fury
Designed by North American Aviation, who had developed the P-51 Mustang, the FJ-4 Fury was the US Navy's first swept-wing fighter.   It was a development of the F-86 Sabre designed for carrier use, just as the Sabre itself had been a land-based development of the early straight-winged FJ-1 Fury.   Although the FJ-4 shared the same name as the FJ-1, they were almost entirely different aircraft.
Owned by Dr Rich Sugden, this is the last FJ-4 Fury still flying.   It's shown here during the 2003 Oshkosh AirVenture airshow.
