Well, lot's of superlatives- the 50 was a good aircraft, but, much as I loved her, I think he over eggs the praise,

Well, lot's of superlatives- the 50 was a good aircraft, but, much as I loved her, I think he over eggs the praise,

I think one of the criticisms of the F50 was that whilst it was built to last and tough (up to 90,000 cycles), the aircraft was heavy and whilst that was ok in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, nowdays its not a good thing.

Still though I think roughly 80 to 100 still fly throughout the world. In total 213 of them were made.
