F-35 Names
Misspelt as Furry or Furby - don't think so...
RAF had the popular and elegant Hawker Fury in the 30s.
FAA had the Sea Fury in the 40s/50s, so did the Aussies and the Canadians, and the Dutch.
USN had the FJ-4 Fury in the 50s (nice aircraft)
So...lots of future JSF users with a history there.
But the USAF haven't used the name, as far as I can find out. And it was apparently the USAF who objected to 'Fury' - justifying it on the grounds that GM were holding on to it for their cars (Plymouth Fury).....not sure I believe that one...:
Chief of USAF: Hey, can we use the name 'Fury' for our new wonder fighter jet plane?
Chief of GM: No way, pal - who would possibly want GM cars to be associated with a super fast, technologically advanced patriotic US fighter jet?
