I took this photo several years ago at the Grass Valley, CA fly in. I have always liked this perspective of Getchel's Sea Fury, just raw power.

darn, those Sea Fury's are awesome. I loved seeing the one that used to be kept at Boundary Bay Airport. It appears to have been taken away and sent to Florida, I believe. "Simply Magnificant" was the name on the nose.


In any case, those things just purrrrr... as they FLING by with effortless speed.

Thanks for posting that picture.

Cheers,

David

DaveyMac- Simply Magnificent has since gone to Virginia to be part of the Fighter Factory's collection
