North American Navion

Ron Hanselman sent in the fabulous image of a Nation in full smoke. Owners love these airplanes for their strong construction and a long list of available modifications.

Let’s clear up any misconceptions. While the North American Navion (pronounced “navy-on”) came from the same company that built the P-51, it’s no Mustang. It doesn’t have a roaring Merlin engine, doesn’t come close to hauling along at 400-plus MPH and won’t be valued north of one million bucks.
