HAWKER SEA FURY, OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN, JULY 31, 2009

This airplane caught my attention on the World War II warbird line at Oskosh not because it's rare (quite a few are still flying) but because of its history. The Sea Fury was the British Royal Navy's last propeller-driven carrier-borne fighter, one of the fastest ever (480 mph), and shot down a MiG-15 jet during the Korean War. It still is a favorite at the Reno air races. (This is the final photo in my Oshkosh series.)
