Anybody know the N number for the Sea Fury at Reno named "Conch Fury" that's owned by Fred Cabanas, Key West, Florida?

Thanks , Dennis

Fred Cabanas gave me a ride in a Waco UPF-7 at Key West a few years ago! Quite a guy it seems, member of the US Aerobatic team at one stage. Well done Fred on your Gold Finish. Any more info in the guy?

Thats cool,

We saw him at the NAS Key West Airshow last November.

I'm assuming that he is the same guy that sells rides in the Pitts at EYW also. We were on the rear deck of our cruise ship a few years back and he did a hammerhead just off the back of the boat. It was Neat!

Went up with Stan Musick in this Sea Fury. At the time it was called
"Sea Fuzzy". I think that was in 94.

Thought you might enjoy seeing these. Here's a couple of photos taken many years ago (Dec 89 I think) at Boundary Bay Airport BC of a very shiny 8) , very nice Sea Fury.

Scott, feel free to use these for the registry if you want.

Thanks for posting those pics, Brian. Mine are in a box somewhere when it had those markings.

Made me wonder which Sea Fury was the first 3350 powered? And also which ones were some of the first few.

Cottonmouth and Sky Fury/Southern Cross might be in the first few, maybe?

I believe that 'Southern Cross' was the first conversion, by George Baker as 'Skyfury', but stand to be corrected on that.

Of course Dreadnought had the 4360 before that.
