| Mike Kello Lehighton, PA | I believe there is a D-16 tied down at Jake Arner Memorial Airport (22N). There are landing lights in the nose bowl.

| Brad Neel lakeland, FL | I recently purchase N8680H, serial NAV-4-680. The airplane is in desperate need of TLC, but is also ferriable. I'd love to pass N8680H to someone familiar enough and capable of restoring her and putting her back in the air. Been in Florida since 06, ferried in from Tulsa, OK. ALOT of history and documentation here. This was the FIRST Riley conversion.

| Nick |Nicolai Sterling, VA | I just saw my first Ryan-Temco D-16 and fell in love. I was a USAF A-10 pilot and worked for Vought when I retired. Little did I know that I would eventually want to own (and hopefully be able to) and fly one of their products. Please let me know if you hve one for sale, or know of one available.

| Joe Vibbert Albuquerque, NM | My father in law passed away a number of years ago, and going thru a box of memorabilia, we found a business card with Alex Haynes, President of Swift Aviation.
I am trying to connect the dots with his life and Swift, and from the readings, have not been able to do so. If you have a history of this time period, I would love to hear from you. My Email is Joe.Vibbert@eclipseaviation.com. Thanks 08/08/2007 @ 02:58 [ref: 17512] |
| Ed Gunter San Antonio, TX | My uncle, RW (Lud) Ludwig was an engineer with Temco/LTV. I am a retired USAF pilot who flew the A-7D operationally.
If anyone worked with my uncle, I'd love to hear some of the projects he worked on. I once had a plastic model of the TT-1 that he gave me. Thanks. 07/24/2007 @ 15:42 [ref: 17265] |
| Rick L. Ferrin St. Cloud, FL | When I was ten years old, I took my very first airplane ride in a Twin Navion. That ride launched my flying career (airline pilot). The pilot who gave my that ride owned it for 32 years, and I purchased it from him ten years ago. 04/04/2007 @ 08:38 [ref: 16087] |
| Bill Jermyn Bethlehem, PA | For some reason, perhaps nostalgia, I google searched twin navion and found this site....A long, very long time ago I used to fly N704T, with a close friend of mine, Stepehn Crow of Westfield, NJ....We made many trips up and down the east coast to the NASCAR races of the day. I can remember being so very sad when Steve sold the plane in order to buy a C-310B....I later learned that N704T was landed in a swamp somewhere in Florida...Ah, memories !!

| Jim , AL | I believe that Alabama Aviation & Tech in Ozark, Al. has one over in one of their buildings. 02/03/2005 @ 16:09 [ref: 9351] |

| don slape bangkok, OTH | i remember seeing a twin navion when i was a kid. it was called a "coy arrow". im guessing it was a variation of d-16 or maybe conversion by another company. my dad had a single engine navion he said they had extra strong landing gear. 11/25/2004 @ 19:28 [ref: 8716] |
