The final development in a lineage that included the USAF's F-86 Sabre, the FJ-4 shared its general layout and engine with the earlier FJ-3, but featured a new wing and was a greatly different design in its final form. Beautifully restored in its original Marines unit markings, between 1956 and 1959 this FJ-4 operated with VMF-232 "Red Devils" from Kaneohe Bay, HI, the unit in which the FJ-2 suspended overhead in the museum also served. Demoted to the Naval Air Training Unit, NAS Glynco, GA in 1962 and stuck off in 1964 with 2,351 hours logged

This was the first version of the FJ-4 (F-1E) Fury. The later version, the FJ-4B (AF-1E) had a strengthened wing for carrying heavy ordinance. The F-1E was used primarily by the US Marine Corps as a replacement for their earlier versions of the Fury. The a/c on display is one of two surviving F-1E versions, and was TOC in November 1956 with the USMC and assigned to VMF-232. It later served with the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit at NAS Glynco, Georgia. In December 1964 it was retired to the museum, and is currently on display inside the main building in VMF-232 markings.
