Rare Red Dornier Airplane Is Worth a Stop and Stare

“What is that?”—and variations of the question—were heard repeatedly in the Vintage Aircraft area at EAA AirVenture 2025 whenever visitors caught sight of N841RS, a striking red 1961 Dornier Do 28-A-1.

One of only 60 built and just one of two currently in the U.S., the rare aircraft drew plenty of attention from curious aviators, according to proud owner Per “Pepe” Anderas.
