Doors are for barns.

A neighbor friend who has a Meyers says it taxies faster than the Navion... ;-)


btw, the second plane I ever rode in was a way cool Navion, so don't get me wrong...

Just saw a brief news clip of a burning Navion L-17 at Marlborough,
MA. (about 5 miles from my home) Apparently everyone got out o.k., so
that's a relief. The shot showed the plane with the nose gear
collapsed and flames shooting out the cabin.

We seem to have a number of Navions hereabouts. Always wondered what
the attraction was. Seems a Bonanza is more efficient.

quoteG. Robert Stetson Jr., the owner and manager of the Marlboro Airport,
685 Farm Road, said the crash occurred at least 800 feet from any other
aircraft. Mr. Stetson said yesterday he was unsure of the cause of the
crash.

"I'm sure nobody knows yet," he said, adding that the pilot was wearing a
seat belt and was not traveling at excessive speed at the time of the crash.

I think the reporter missed the sarcasm.
