  1. Hi

    I think I know you. I worked avionics in KIMT for a few years and I think I worked on your plane. Is Sersich still there? I understand that Superior, where I worked, sold out. Is Jeff still there? I moved to California and have my own avionics shop in San Jose. If you're ever out this way, look up a fellow Yooper.

      Congrats on your own shop.  Yes, Chad Kubick bought the "assets" of Superior Aviation, but did not by the business.  He already had an FBO so the facility you knew as Superior Aviation is now known as Kubick Aviation. Jeff heads up the avionics department.  He had left Superior Aviation to work for Fed-Ex on the field, but then they got slow and laid him off.  

      Sorry to say, but John Sersich passed away within the last 6-9 months.  He was fighting liver and kidney failure for many years, lost his grand daughter (12-13 years old) last summer to some type of a brain issue like a stroke (I flew him and his wife down to see her just before she died in Ann Arbor), and I think his will to live was a little less after that tragic situation.
