A Johnson Rocket in Vintage? How's that happening?


The Johnson Rocket was only built for a few years in the mid 40s. Perhaps
you're thinking of the more contemporary Harmon Rocket? Totally different
plane.

Specifically: They built just 17 in 1945/46, but they sold more than
500, plus distributorships, dealerships, company stock, etc.

It is a great airplane -- fingertip controls, speed to match Comanches,
Bonanzas, etc. and looks to match! Of the 17 built, I am aware of only 7
or 8 that still exist, of which 3 are airworthy.

I don't know whether or not those who put down deposits got their money
back, but the dealers & distributors and stock buyers certainly did not.
