Aviation version…

There are things you just DON’T expect to see at little country airports…

These were spotted at Lampasas Airport in central Texas! Navions in the wild!!!

Two of these are being worked on, one getting a new engine, and one (the far one) being restored.

Thanks to Dot, it appears that Navion Customs has departed California for free America and settled in Texas!
