It survived a hangar fire that damaged the other airframe, and was restored to airworthiness by Brian Baird.

[2] After a landing gear failure wrecked the aircraft, it was bought along with another partial airframe by the Sanders Family in November 1969.

In 2002 September Fury finished in second place in the Unlimited Gold division at the Reno Air Races.

[citation needed] The 2003 Pylon Racing Seminar saw a repainted September Fury with a more wild scheme.

September Fury however blew an engine at the Reno Air Races that year and did not get to compete.

In 2004, September Fury finished in 3rd place in Unlimited Gold at the Reno National Championship Air Races.
