Junkers Ju 87 Restoration to flight!
Earlier this year it was announced a Junkers Ju 87R-2 Stuka owned by the Flying Heritage Combat and Armor Museum had arrived at The Roost in Arkansas for the final stage of it's restoration to flight.
Once completed in the next few years, this will be the first Stuka to have flown since the 1940s! Another cool part about this restoration is that it will be powered by an original Junkers Jumo 211 engine, it will be the only one of these engines in existence flying, the first in over 50 years.
To give you an idea how rare Stukas are these days, there are only 2 complete airframes in existence, one in a museum in London and the other at a museum in Chicago.
I can see this being a massive drawcard on the Airshow circuit once it is flying, the big question everyone wants to know, is it going the have the Jericho Trumpet Dive Sirens?
