Many years ago when Ryan was in Wichita 1981, I was Ron Ryan's first officer. I started flying charter in Lear's and Citations. Went to the Cargo Division in 1983 and flew the Emery Airfreight contract in B727's. The company treated us well for a small 121/135 company. The lure or the Airlines was too strong and left in 1984 to work for Piedmont/USAirways. Good memories of my short time at Ryan.
