Photo Comment

Although now painted as a Naval Air Test Center aircraft, this Fury was in fact operated by VMF-232 "Red Devils", MCAS Kaneohe Bay, HI for its short service life in the mid-1950s. This is one of only two FJ-2s in preservation, although there are also a number of the more powerful FJ-3s surviving
