It was a pure joy.


Unless OEI, when it taught valuable lessons about the advances in certification requirements.

But overall, I am only a substantial lottery win from ownership. (Because I don't do the lottery, this is not a real concern).

A truly beautiful and amazingly practical aircraft, with far and away the best not-at-the-edges-of-the-envelope handling of the all the >2 tonne 'transport' aircraft I've experienced.

In short, a masterpiece.

Could someone post an up-to-date account of the problems that G-registered Dove owners are having at present, with regards to airworthiness and oversight? A story I heard recently made me concerned that the UK-registered aircraft may never fly again.
