"This ship has 670 carefree hours on her," writes Larry Harmacinksi, Flyharm@aol.com. "Our Air Camper is 899H which was purchased from Andrew Pietenpol (grandson) late last fall. The owners are Bill and Sue Knight and Larry and Ilse Harmacinski. The ship lives in Brodhead with Ilse's 1932 original Scout, NX12941. So presently at Brodhead you can see the oldest original and the newest original!"

"899H is unrestored and still purrs like a kitty."
