Built in Philadelphia at the Naval Aircraft Factory, this historic flying museum is one of only 816 N3N-3 Primary Trainers built. Powered by a Lycoming R-680-13 rated at 300 HP, the first aircraft engine built by Lycoming, and equipped with dual cockpits, the N3N-3 also features an aluminum airframe and metal fuselage with fabric wings. N44874 is an excellent example of the venerable N3N-3 with low time engine and recent new prop. Think its a Stearman? The N3N and the Stearman PT-17 are often mistaken for each other. There four major distinguishing features between the two: 1. The N3N has a more rounded and taller vertical fin and rudder, 2. The N3N has one strut connecting the vertical fin to the horizontal stabilizer whereas the Stearman had two flying wires, 3. The N3N has ailerons on the upper and lower wings and an aileron interconnect strut connecting them; the Stearman only had ailerons on the lower wing. 4. The N3N has 30 x 5 Bendix wheels compared to the much smaller wheels and wider tires on the Stearman. Located at KLHZ (KLHZ Details) Hangared All Records and Logs

Interior? ReallY? Get in that damn seat, Cadet! Let's just say it has a seat cushion, with mil-spec upholstery and a four point harness and seat belt. As for the rest, it is like sitting in a cockpit in 1941.
