Hi all,I have been trawling through the WIX register of Furies/Sea Furies and noted some of the Iraqi cache still listed as stored in Orlando,FL. Does anyone have any more info on this,some appear to be U.S. registered but have no construction number and are listed as possible spare airframes,would be very interested to see if any are left,even partial airframes especially T-20's,best regards,Pete

Hi Mike,yes,thanks the link did help,the 4 Furies listed on WIX as stored are now listed to a company called DB Aero,they are all listed as T-20's yet WIX puts 2 of them as FB10,I was curious to learn what had become of all the airframes imported and whether any might be left,best regards,Pete

I was lucky enough to get the hanger tour circa 1981. It really was amazing. I think they are all gone from Orlando for many years now.
