Maybe due to the JP aerobatics ban?

Wing spar fatigue issues IIRC. Doug posted a link to the document a whle back.

Well, here a link to a press article about the restriction: http://www.flyer.co.uk/news/newsfeed.php?artnum=525

Not aerobatically if I understand. They're affected by the same restriction as above. In fact, it may have been a Strikemaster crash (abroad) that lead to it.
