I learned to fly in one in the early Nineties and sorely miss it today. It's a wonderful, very lively and very well built aircraft which is an absolute joy to fly. It has a relatively high wing loading and some sources claim that it's critical in the stall, something which I however never noticed. I do however believe that some spare parts are in short supply, but maybe Silvaire1 knows more about this. EADS in Germany (Manching/Ingolstadt) at least used to have a division called "Flugzeugunion Süd" which was effectively the type certificate holder (also for the Bo 207 and Bo 208) and had some spares in stock.
