| The Seafury when it flies at Chino is one cool event. The plane has a smoke generator that helps people track his aerobatics. The smoke also is picked up by the wingtip vortex's and its one neat thing to see the "tornado's" formed by the turbulent air.
I think I have some pix of it happening. If I do, I will post them.
Anyone who has been close to one these planes idling or moving along a taxiway, it exudes an aura of power.

Country:  | I've seen a couple of them perform at airshows. A low high speed pass is awesome.  | |

Country:  | Yep, he has the smoke generators out on the wing. He puts aluminum tape behind them on the trailing edge of the wing to save his paint. It definitely gives you a feeling of power when they start up. It is surprisingly quite though when it flies.

Country: | Thanks, jrk. What's really funny is that Getch never likes his Sea Fury parked too close to the Mustang. He always says he doesn't want his plane to "catch anything"! It is quite a nice example.

| Did the furies have any bad tendencies? Because I thinkit was the best single seat/piston engined plane ever built for overall capabilities | |

Country: | Funny, NS, I was going to say the same thing. That is the first one that I have seen in Navy blue also. It is a beauty! Great pics, Wildcat.

| Excellent pictures guys. I agree that the seafury is one of the best piston powered aircraft ever built. I can't afford the real thing so I have to satify my thirst with an R/C model of it but it looking pretty good.
