His autobiography encapsulates Johnny’s life story. It may start with motorcycles and cars but rapidly switches to flying and the godfather of Merrick County aviation, the eccentric Amos Sigfrid Bankson. Johnny unabashedly describes his quest for the following license upgrade and the flood of students he competently mentored. In contrast, he was raising a family and looking for the upcoming best flying gig. The story is intertwined with working as a florist and an authoritative five-year Federal job, earning Hruban the NTSB Outstanding Performance Award in 1989. During a phone call in 2012, while discussing this book, I told Johnny about the MPA and nominated him without hesitation. Ultimately, he was most proud of the prestigious and well-earned Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award presented to him in September 2013.
