ypelchat 0 #10 May 9, 2007 Quote I'm not sure the world is ready for this one yet. But I bet the world would have been ready for this one... Too bad Beechcraft pulled the plug on the Starship assembly line. Way too soon IMHO. Beechcraft even tried to buy back all 50 planes that were built.. I'm glad they weren't successful. All, but a few, have been destroyed by Beechcraft. And, fortunately, a few Starship have remained in private ownership. Yves Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derekbox 0 #12 May 10, 2007 I saw the twin star the other day, pretty snazy plane, deisel (Jet-A) too. But for 1/2 a mill you can buy a used twin turbo prop... To be rich. ;) They didnt destroy the starships, they are mothballed, there are some satellite pics of one of the boneyards where most of them are stationed. Good times non the less. The Piaggio Avanti has taken up in the spirit of the starship (Canard rear turbo prop pusher). Good times... D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
