Built in 2017, N1827B is among 1,000+ Breezy's built over the last fifty-five years. Corporate Beech 18 pilots Charles Roloff, Robert Liposky and Carl Unger had the skills between them to build a fun aircraft out of steel tubing and parts from other aircraft. The RLU-1 first flew on August 7, 1964. While stopping for fuel on a test flight, the airport manager stopped by and remarked "a little breezy, ain't it?" and the aircraft had a name. Growing interest in the airplane saw the trio reverse engineer the Breezy and make plans available.
