Although I have no doubt about the fins on your aircraft, I shall contact the EAA Airventure Museum to see if NC20953 is similarly finished.
Since I'm right here at EAA HQ, I'll check into it for you. But it won't be until next week, as we're right in the middle of board meetings right now so I won't have time to go look at the airplane.

The ARE and the SRE are identical airframes. The only difference is the engine - the SRE having the Pratt and Whitney and the ARE having a Jacobs. However, this particular ARE has custom windows that are different from the standard ARE/SRE, as the airplane was built for the New York Daily News and was fitted out for photography. See the following page for info on this aircraft;

Note in the pictures the larger than normal side windows in the airplane.

Anyway, give me till next week and I will check it out to make sure the windows are the only difference from a standard SRE/ARE airframe.

Cheers!
