Av8rps,
I don't know if 85DD is the oldest Kitfox around. I do know it was the first real factory demonstrator. It took first place in Oshkosh in 1985 and 1986, as the stickers are still on the side of the plane. Yes, it has a lot of good history. She flies great and gets flown at least every 10 days, usually more than that. Had her out in the dirt today and did 10 landings and I plan to fly tomorrow, then head to Scotsdale, AZ for a few days before attending the Copperstate Fly In!! You know what they say about perfect practice!
Good on you for never going plane-less!!
