New Non-Profit Aviation Organization For Navion Owners And
Enthusiasts
Chris Gardner, who is President and
CEO of Sierra Hotel Aero (SHA) and holds the Type Certificate
Navion Aircraft, announced the formation of a new organization
called NavionX. This 501c-3 non-profit aviation organization is
being formed as a way for owners and enthusiasts of the Navion to
use the Internet and social media in a user supported forum to
share information, plan social gatherings and educational
forums.
NavionX.org will be the place online where Navion owners and
enthusiasts can gather. Sierra Hotel Aero plans to make archival
documents available in an effort to promote the continued use,
interest and flying of the aircraft. This will be another way for
the Type Certificate holder to give back to the legacy and share
interesting data, original concepts, old photographs and historical
records that cover the History of the Navion via drawings,
documents, parts lists and product line knowledge through the
NavionX organization.
NavionX is designed to be a membership based organization, with
a membership elected Board of Directors and wholly operated by
NavionX members. Initially Mr. Gardner will act as President, but
within a short period of time will resign and be replaced by an
elected Official and Board. Sierra Hotel Aero and Navion Aircraft
Company will provide the NavionX organization selected Navion
Aircraft technical support in a more public forum.
"We felt there was a need to have a forum that would be more
closely affiliated with the Type Certificate Holder to assure
owners and enthusiasts accurate information to enhance support,
preservation and popularity of the Navion," Gardner said. "The
NavionX organization will be the place to go for owners and
enthusiasts wanting to share their experiences. Obviously owners do
not need to belong to the type club to take advantage of Sierra
Hotel Aero's knowledge, but this club will give owners a larger
voice and the ability to share knowledge pertaining to all Navion
Aircraft."
