Thank you for Jerald to share his story with Murphy Aircraft. He discovered the Murphy Super Rebel 2500 at Sun-N-Fun in 1995 and immediately placed a deposit. Although his career in the U.S. Air Force took him overseas multiple times, his passion for building the aircraft never waned. In 2011, after retiring and setting up his dream workshop in Missouri, Jerald finally began the project he had long anticipated.
