Friends, this is from Jeffrey Doig, John's brother. N899AC is for sale due to John's passing. Below is the email from Jeffrey, don't contact me because I don't have any other information. There are plenty of very good pictures of the airplane on westcoastpiet.com but it has a C90 engine with alternator but no starter (hand prop), nice instrumentation both front and rear cockpits. I believe the airplane is in Redding, CA.________________________________
