First of all we like
to introduce ourselfs. We are the owners of the last built Dornier Do 27, c/n
2200 registered as D-EGAO. Together with Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung we oranized
the first Dornier Do 27-meeting in 93 at Braunschweig Germany were 39 Dornier
Do 27 met the first time together. The objective was, to bring together Dornier
Do 27 pilots, owners and other enthusiasts to share the experiences. Since 1993
the dates of the Dornier Do 27 meetings are marked in the calenders of all enthusiasts.
In 2003 we met together the 10th time. The Aero Club of Gelnhausen
organized the meeting four times (1994, 1995, 1999 and 2003). During the second
meeting (1994) a formationflight of more than 20 Dornier Do 27s was performed
for the Guiness book of records. The remaining meetings took place at Nordholz/Spieka
(1996), Kiel (1998), Herrenteich (2001), Neuhausen ob Eck (2002), Gelnhausen (2003)
and Hilzingen (2004). In addition to the aforesaid we are
