Yes... this Fury is based in Denton, Texas and is owned and flown by John Shackelford. John also has a Grumman Widgeon that is based at Northwest Regional airport in Roanoke where he lives and I visit with him when he is not out flyin the big birds for Delta. This Fury is painted just like Howard Pardue's but has a white spinner.
