Garry and Janne Ackerman's historic Stinson SR-7B, the first production Stinson Gullwing and a former Pepsi-Cola publicity plane, has been meticulously restored.
The challenging restoration, involving extensive documentation and the aircraft's large size, was primarily completed over four years by RARE Aircraft after the Ackermans' initial efforts.
The Stinson recently made its first flight in almost 70 years and is currently displayed at EAA AirVenture's Vintage Aircraft Circle, incorporating tasteful modern updates.
