love the sound of that as it dives!
Navions are just so damned handsome. Thanks for posting.
i love how the navion looks like an air tractor wanted to go fast and carry passengers but still look sleek and original
My buddy has one that looks absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to fly with him. We flew T-37s in the Air Force together and this plane reminds me of the Tweet.
I like how the top of the navion looks like it came from the top of a car
Been to hundreds of airshows, that was a first. Never would have thought of a Navion doing aerobatics.
Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE the sound of that engine! It kinda sounds like a T-6 when it flys by at 3:33
Oh yeah!
Yes It does!
that's actually mostly prop noise, and that's why it sounds like a t6
@@wolfgagger He is swinging a C-185 float prop on an IO-520.
@@MrJDP1974 yes i know
No wonder the L-17 looks good. It has the general plane form of a Mustang and was originally built by North American. Cool bit of history.
Made by the same company that brought us the P-51 Mustang, North American.
If ya close one eye and squint the other, sorta looks like a Mustang.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen a Navion do aerobatics. What a rocket ship. Such a great airplane. Even greater now that I’ve seen it put through its paces. Thanks for sharing.
This was a first for us too! Thanks for watching
@@AirshowStuffVideos There is a group in Canada that does a lot of fancy formation stuff with smoke, but this is pretty neat.
Incredible 2 bladed sound!! LOUD AND PROUD!!
That's cool, never seen a navion do aerobatics!
Usually, when someone does it, it's a "hold my beer" situation followed by a crsh.
That sound is awesome
Have one L-17 Navion flying here in Brazil. I have heard sometimes but, can´t saw. I think is the only one in fly condition here.
Love it!! Something different!! Great roll rate, it appears for what it is!
They need to put these birds back into production with updated avionics and a few other features. They’re a proven design and would give a lot of other planes in the same class a run for their money.
I agree.
Wow, that was Awesome!
I like this airplane a navion I've been wanting to fly one for a long time they're cool airplanes to fly
Cool fast plane.
Awesome..We had a Navion for several years N4409V back in the mid 70s don't remember flying it around like that.
Wonder what ever happened to that airplane.
That was cool aerobatics
I have seen and caught 2 bladed Navions before!
I'd rather watch this at an air show than an Extra 300. S-M-O-O-T-H. Good pilot, ala Bob Hoover. 👍👍
It's amazing how much it looks like the T-28 from below. The wing and tail shape are identical.
you mean the trojan looks like this, the navion was designed in late 45
Great video, aerobatics, sound and catches!
@colvin sellers me too! I have heard and caught Navions that are 2 bladed all the time!
@colvin sellers yep! Thx!
@colvin sellers oh :(
@colvin sellers nice
They say .."If it looks right it is right" and does that look right.........
is that a carburetor or fuel injection motor .Seems like you didn't do any negative g's.Awesome flying ,and awesome plane !

Hola,que potencia tiene.?
Reminds me of imperial valley
I always thought the Nation looked like someone put a 1950's Chevy Bel Air cabin on a plane.
This is definitely unique! I love it when GA airplanes do aerobatics. Anyone know what engine it's running? Definitely not stock
IO-520
There are 14 Navions around and I’ve never known that you can perform acrobatic in them
Mine is from FSX and it just lands
As a Navion owner myself (1949 with an E-225), I’m curious as to how he gets away with executing aerobatic maneuvers with an aircraft not certified for aerobatics. I know people do it (not saying I have, of course!), but to do it in the public eye is really something else. Is he operating under some sort of special waiver?
Im curious here as well. 1946 A model
Performed under a waiver with a "DO NOT do this in your Navion" disclaimer.
Was wondering that too. The POH states aerobatics are not allowed. The following are permitted when under 2350 pounds: steep turnsup to 60 Deg only; chandelles; lazy 8's and stalls (except whip stalls). T.O. 1L-17A-1 (AN 01-100LAA-1) FLIGHT HANDBOOK USAF
How many Gs can this plane pull?
Use to be common here , now there scarce.
Hello
Aerobatics in a standard category airplane? What's the point?
Those are a nice series of exaggerated chandelles, possibly bordering on wing-overs, but not true aerobatics. Not a single roll, loop, or spit-S, unless I missed something in the vid. Younkin does proper aerobatics in the Beech 18, Duane Cole did it in the Taylorcraft, and Bob Hoover in the Shrike needs no introduction. Here's a proper roll in a Navion: czcams.com/video/z-DudCnDuHE/video.html
I think the perspective is throwing off your perception of it. The first maneuver is a Cuban Eight followed by a loop
@@AirshowStuffVideos
Yeah, it could be I was missing the horizon & lost perspective, hence making it appear to me like a lazy 8.
"According to the FAA (FAR §91.303), aerobatic flight is defined as “an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft’s attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight.”
Really cool until you realize the front of the fin is attached with AN-4 (1/4”) bolt……
Is that a "technical Term"? LOL!
