In addition to Mira Slovak and Ernie Gann Dr. Dave Rahm once owned N121U. He flew air shows in it in the early 70's and based it in either Bellingham or Friday Harbor, Washington.
Dave Rahm changed the paint from white with black trim to black with gold trim, but kept the same design including the large griffin on the tail. Rahm (who was a geology professor) died in a Pitts Special in Amman, Jordan, while he and Steve Wolf were training the Royal Jordanian Falcons, a Pitts formation team. Both Dave Rahm and Mira Slovak flew great air shows in N121U.
There are many more stories about Dave in the "Charlie Miller collection" in the downloads section.
Now that's a low pass!
