Piper test bed for the Seneca ?????

It was a Piper that when multiplied together forms a product...

i.e...

The P factor.

A Navion trimotor.

A Navion trimotor.

Very good! Most are familiar with the Navion; fewer with the TEMCO Twin Navion, but there was also a rare tri-motor.

How'd you figure that one out, Kent? My source was this PDF of 20 years of North Texas aviation history, page 7.

Learn something new every day. A buddy has a Navion twin so I'm gonna quiz him about his tri motor knowledge.

The wing dihedral, landing gear, split windshield, etc., all "screamed" Navion. I knew there were Twin Navions and guessed someone made a three engine version (why, I can't imagine).

(why, I can't imagine).

When burning twice the fuel just isn't enough!

Very cool nonetheless.

Defintely started out as a Navion

Even the twin was rare, only 33 built according to Wikipedia. Almost as rare as the Wing Derringer!
