On its way to Sanders in Ione to be packaged to go to MieirsMotors in Germany for restoration to stock for a European buyer.

From that angle it is such a sexy badass racer.

I sure seems like we are at the end of a era.

Going from the wild wild west where you had to have a big pair to play, to the tea and crumpets crowd where tight jeans are fashionable for the lil fellas.

If the "lil fellas" make mamosas, I'll be hanging with them!

Tight jeans = more microknots.

Oh..."microknots." When I first read it I thought you wrote "microknuts." Which would make sense if we're talking about "tight jeans" because...oh, nevermind.

I just am very disappointed that this amazing Super Unlimited air racer with a long history in the sport and one of the few radial airplanes capable of challenging the Super Mustangs will now be converted back to (another) stock Sea Fury. I think that most who have been on the mountainside watching 232 round the pylons will agree with that sentiment. 232 is an absolute beast and it's sad to see her permanently leave the sport. As an Unlimited air racing fan, I value that airplane more as a racer than another post-war Sea Fury.
