OH-PJN was flown by famed Finnish pilot Orvokki Kuortti (standing on wing), who was the first woman to receive the honorary title of Flight Captain (lentokapteeni) from Finland's president. She and copilot Raimo Komi flew back to Finland after the race and the aircraft undertook several other epic flights. -PJN is preserved at the Finnish Aviation Museum (Suomen ilmailumuseo).
