The FJ-2 Fury was developed as a swept-wing, carrier capable fighter from the F-86 Sabre (the similarities are evident). Of 200 built very few are extant and this one is displayed at the National Naval Aviation Museum in the markings of an aircraft assigned to the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, although, in reality she was based for her entire service life in California and Hawaii.
