The skins were intended for B-25’s that never got built, the instruments are meant for T-6’s and P-51’s that never got built. She introduced Army Air Force pilots to the first North American built complex aircraft you could buy after the war, and she needs a new home. She's a Navion all right. Rugged and fun to fly. With her story as the company demonstrator for NA for the Navion line she should be in a museum. This is one of the only aircraft of "Warbird" status that a middle class guy can afford.

The first decent offer takes her. Several air museums have expressed interest, but I can't afford to donate her outright.

Best,

Jason

John,

Her "N" number is NC91104.

Here is NC91104 flying for NAA over Long Beach California:

That publicity photo was to show how industry was sped along with flying the new Navion.

Best,

Jason
