Cool Lets start- reference info

The Fury was the first operation jet of the US Navy.
info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_FJ-1_Fury

essentially heavily inspired by the P-51 Mustang and you can see the similarity in the wings, tail and canopy.


Being the first jet in the navy, it had lots of shortcomings. Nevertheless, it was a good simple start.

so first, I looked to the internet for reference photos

and then I remembered that I saw a restored on at the Yanks aviation museum in Chino California.



so here are some pictures I took.
