Navion aircraft coming to Hartford

An event at the Hartford Municipal Airport will bring up to 60 navion aircraft from all over the U.S. and Canada.

It’s happening on Saturday, June 6 through Saturday, June 13.

Owner, Operator and Flight Instructor of Cub Air Flight school in Hartford Steve Krog told WTKM all about it.

"The National Navion Association, an aviation wing representing the navion airplanes, is holding their annual national fly-in here. Each day, they have some kind of an event planned.                                                   

The navion is a single-engine, retractable-gear, four to five seat civilian and military aircraft originally designed immediately after World War II.

They feature an iconic sliding canopy on earlier models or a traditional cabin door.
