Garry and Janne Ackerman, with specialized help from RARE Aircraft, successfully completed the challenging restoration of their vintage Stinson SR-7B aircraft.
The Stinson SR-7B is historically significant as the first production Stinson Gullwing and was famously owned by Pepsi-Cola for publicity in the late 1930s.
After nearly 70 years, the meticulously restored aircraft, featuring tasteful modern updates, took its first flight on July 12 and is currently on display at EAA AirVenture's Vintage Aircraft Circle.
