The Twin Navion is one of general aviation's most misunderstood light aircraft, stemming from the fact that three distinct versions of the conversion were marketed, each in relatively small numbers. Although the single Navion has been an easily recognizable fixture on airports around the globe since 1946, few people are familiar with any of the conversions offered to turn the Navion into the world's first post-war light twin. There's even disagreement about how to pronounce the Navion name.

What's New?
January, February and March 2009

  • After several discussions with Roger Keeney, its was discovered that N4832K (NAV-4-1832) was the second Twin Navion converted by Acme Aircraft in California. TwinNavion.com had previously been calling N91193 (NAV-4-65) the second conversion. The order has been corrected in several areas.

  • Roger Keeney has also supplied his collection of photographs from the creation of the first two Twin Navions to us. Thanks to his friend, Norman Cowell, who did all of the labor intensive scanning. These treasures have now been added to the Story "Creating the X-16 - The First Twin Navion."

  • Two of Roger Keeney's photos have also made us create a new Brochures page for the X-16.

  • Finally, Matt Jackson has purchased yet another Camair, bringing his total up to six. He reported to us in November that he was starting to collect them all and bring them (most by) road to California. He's now up to his eye-balls with Twin Navions, and we wish Matt all the best as he returns them back to the skies.

  • Aircraft Histories have been updated for NAV-4-532, NAV-4-1832, TN-9, TN-11, TTN-20, TTN-33, TTN-61, 1-057 and 1-061.

Many people believe the Twin Navion is an oddball conversion, but through the years we've discovered some airplanes that really deserve to be called odd. We figure you might like to see them too.
