The photo of N90242 was taken at Wolf River Airport (54M) near Rossville, TN. The photo was taken shortly after I purchased the plane in SEP 2000 from Steve Leibler of Jackson, WY. I flew the plane from Driggs, ID to 54M in about 1 and 1/2 days, departing from Driggs about noon on day one and arriving at 54M about dark the next day, with an overnight in Sidney, NE. It was a great flight!!
I kept the airplane for about 3-4 years and then sold it to Mike Olson of Yakima, WA. Mike had owned the airplane sometime prior to Steve Leibler. N90242 was built in the Northwest by Conway Thorstensen, after which it migrated down to the San Antonio, TX area. It returned to the NW, then made the trip to TN with me, then returned once again to Washington state with Mike. It was undergoing a complete restoration by Cub Crafters as of May 2007.
It was a great and pleasurable aircraft. Very light on the controls, a baby to land, and I enjoyed it very much. The Ranger engine was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. A Great Lakes with a Ranger engine will easily out perform one with a 180 HP Lycoming.
I sold the airplane to buy an interest in a Stearman partnership. The only drawback to the Great Lakes was that the front cockpit was a little snug for some passengers. From a pilot's perspective however, it could fly circles around a 220 Stearman. The Stearman however is better for hopping passengers which is how I spend most of my flying time these days.
If you're interested in learning more about Great Lakes airplanes, please feel free to contact me by e-mail or by telephone at 901-489-7941.
