    Avantair, Turboprop pusher aircraft

    I went to the NBAA event at the Long Beach, Airport on 16-November and they had a static display of aircraft. The aircraft that I think is cool as hell is the Avanti P.180 (One of these days, I am going to have to learn how to take better photos!)

    We used to get 3 a day or so at SRQ they base a ton fo them at PIE so the training flights come in there all the time. Shes an intresting plane. Shes a real slow fuler though it takes forever to top one off and I am not too keen on where they placed the GPU recepticle because it is very near the prop arc.

    I've seen one (or more) of these buzzing in and out of Republic recently. Has a real distinctive sound, wonder if that's due to those 5-bladed props? She's a really neat looking aircraft, that's for sure.

    Yes, FRG has one latley as Moose said.. I did get some ok shots of her on final but I want her on rotation with the tower in the backround.
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
