Welcome to the website of the N3N Owners and Restorers Association. Our association is dedicated to the preservation of the Navy N3N aircraft.
The N3N holds a special place in aviation history. The aircraft was both designed and built by the Naval Aircraft Factory, located on the grounds of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. It is believed to be the only primary training aircraft ever produced as a convertible (land and sea) design. It holds the distinction of being the last biplane in US Military service – in operation at the Naval Academy (Annapolis) until 1959. Click on “N3N History” and “N3N Specifications” (above) for more information.
We have provided a number of resources through the menu above. There are photo galleries, articles, videos and links to places where “N” aficionados hang out.
For members (you don’t have to be an owner to join, use the “Contact us” location for information), we offer a number of benefits:
• A news feed with the latest updates on the fleet
• For Sale / Wanted section to find parts to “keep ‘em flying”
