John and Dan Wegmueller from Monroe have finished the restoration of their Fairchild 24R and made the first flight in over 20 years on Sunday, June 3, 2012. Restoration took about a year and it will move to its new home at the Albany Airport soon.

Pictures below show the first flight take-off on runway 27 at Brodhead Airport.

Congratulations John and Dan!
