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 remember seeing three Navions at Vineyard Haven. I think they were part of a flying club, or air-experience flight, as they all had spurious military-like markings of a similar sort. Are these accidents all by the same guy? If so, how is it that anyone with this sort of record can still have a license, or at least be allowed to fly complex aircraft! Crazy! Lucky that no one was injured.

3 times landing gear up in the same airplane has *got* to be a foul in someone's rulebook.

He does tours around MVY in a Navion with a full lexan canopy in CG colors.
The other Navions you saw, heres a link to a great pic taken of them recently.
