This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I believe I read in one of Budd Davisson's PIREP's on the Navion that it was designed to forgiving, so a General who hasn't flown in sometime with rusty skills can step into it without issue, and also robust enough that it can be properly maintained by Privates fresh out of boot camp. I saw one completely dissembled once... when in pieces you can see a lot of similarity between the P-51 and the Navion.
