Dan,
Between Mira Slovak and Earnest Gann owning the Jungmann, Dr. Dave Rahm owned it. He flew air shows in it in the early 70's and based it in either Bellingham or Friday Harbor, Washington. That may be how Gann came to buy it, since he lived in the area. 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 was a geology professor, so an internet search today only returns images of mountains, nothing about his air show days. He 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, but Mira ended the show with an low inverted pass with both arms hanging out of the cockpit, so he gets the blue ribbon!!
