Has the Dreamlifter been certified yet. I read it was having problems with oscillations in the wing. The first deliveries were allowed on an experimental basis only.

I don't know. Last I saw was the Jan 23 P.I. article:

the FAA has not yet certified it. That had been expected in early 2007, but Boeing said Monday that it won't happen for a "few months." Boeing has worked out a plan with the FAA that allows the Dreamlifters to haul 787 parts in the meantime.

Boeing removed the winglets and redistributed the fuel load.
