Master Pilot
Aviation is about consistent good judgment, and if you read John Hruban's story, you realize that good luck is involved along with good judgment. Flying is about the basics. John Hruban taught sound basics. That is reflected in the number of Master Pilot Awards issued to his students in rural Merrick County. Johnny's dedication explains the reason for the book: "I hope everyone will take the time to read it and keep it for future generations." Leaving the text in the hands of the museum will have the capacity to potentiate the publication far into the future. In addition, Hruban's account is the story of Merrick County and its love affair with flying. Johnny was instrumental in the growth of aviation. He influenced so many other lives that he must be mentioned and recognized as a flying linchpin between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers.
