Recently Top Aviation Services acquired a 1940 Navy N3N-3 bi-plane.
The N3N is a unique aircraft as it was built by the United States Naval Aircraft Factory (NAF) at the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, not by a civilian company. Roughly 1,000 were made with a 25 estimated still in flying condition. The aircraft was designed to be on floats as a seaplane and as a cadet trainer.
Our N3N will be available for viewing this weekend at our first annual “Radials on the Ramp”, co-sponsored by Gate 36 Eatery & Spirits By J. Engroff. Come sit in the N3N, hear it start up, smell it, and see how to get a ride in this wonderful rare warbird.
There will also be a variety of radial engine and vintage aircraft on static display.
