Meet Prince Rupert, 2023 EAA Vintage Award Winning Airplane

Originally exported to Canada as a float plane, CF-SLB flew many missions in the great white north. Her last job was flying tours around Prince Rupert  on British Columbia's northwest coast. After a bad storm, she was holed up in a warm warehouse for 40 years before Arcus Aero took her home to Bridgeport to bring her back to life. Prince Rupert, tail number N145JK is the company spec plane - look through everything we've done to this plane and see what we can do with yours!
