This can involve witnessing an airframe tested to destruction, which adds considerable cost and delay to the approval process, which is a great obstacle to importing aircraft.
Point taken with regards to the Genesis.
However, I happen to know that there are MXP 150 Patriots in Italy, and I´m almost positive the same goes for the Ibis Magic´s……

Would it be that expensive to get one of those certified where you are?
