Garry and Janne Ackerman's Stinson SR-7B, a vintage aircraft historically owned by Pepsi-Cola, has been meticulously restored and is currently on display at EAA AirVenture.
The restoration, which began with the Ackermans in 2011 and was largely completed by RARE Aircraft over four years, involved extensive historical research and documentation.
After almost 70 years, the aircraft completed its first flight on July 12, featuring a blend of historical accuracy and tasteful modern updates for safety and handling.
