About the Aircraft: Our N3N

The Boeing N3N is a historic U.S. Navy training aircraft from the 1940s. Known for its rugged design and bright yellow finish, it trained military pilots during World War II. Today, only a few can still fly, and our Sqaudron preserves and flies one of them!

Your ticket directly supports restoring and maintaining this aircraft, ensuring our community gets to continue experiencing it in flight.
