In the early 1960s, as youngsters, Larry Ernewein and three of his friends were paid $5 a piece to pull down wrestling rings at the CKCO-TV studio and get bandstand sets in place.
[1] Passionate about music at a young age, Larry Ernewein joined the rock group Truck when he left high school.
Along with members, Brian Wray, Jimmy Roberts, Joey Miquelon, Mike Curtis and Graham Lear, he was pictured in the May 6 issue of RPM Weekly.
[20] In 2018, Ernewein was pictured on Facebook with former Truck bandmate Jimmy Roberts, Dave Beatty and Neil Nickafor.
[25] He worked on the 2009 film, Amelia that starred Hilary Swank and Richard Gere doing some of the aerobatic flying maneuvers.
[26][27] In 2015, he was participating in the fifth-annual Bill Thomas U.S./Canada Aerobatic Challenge, flying thousands of feet of above the Cattaraugus County-Olean Airport.
With a crowd of anxious onlookers on the ground, he cut the engine of his homemade Bücker-Jungmann and sent it into a free fall.
