[Johnson] Viking I's scarce?

[Carl]

Yes, I read the same Dave Harmon data and my CDC model was one of the last 
48 made in 61, March or later according to various date codes. Owned by the 
GM Proving Grounds Radio Club.

OTOH the V-1 didnt age well and survivability percentage is likely lower. It 
was already a throwaway by the time the late 50's SS gear revolution hit.
