Over in the picture gallery there is a section for scanned magizine articles and there you will find a story by Ernest K Gann called "My Island in the Sky." As you would expect from one of aviation's most gifted authors, it makes good reading: My island in the sky.

(Brian Karli says that he wrote to Gann on several occasions and each time the author responded to his letter, sometimes sending him articles and other information. A special airman indeed.)

Ryan Perberton of Spokane, Washington has just completed a full restoration of Ernie's Jungmann N121 for current owner Mark Schafhausen and it recently made its first post-restoration flight.

Ryan would like to thank those that helped the restoartion team through the project.  "There have been hundreds of emails flying around as well as many posts on the board that have been invaluable.  This really is a wonderful community!"
