Cool Airplane sightings from Barhaven!

[Ken Park]

:) Hey note to all Airplane spotters! - This flew in and out of Ottawa last night 14Aug2006 - Plane sound is amazing 2 pusher Turboprops - Higher pitch sound than normal will make you run out to see what it is!!!!

Avanti!

Yeah, the Piaggio P-180 Avanti is a neat one. First time I saw it flying around Ottawa I thought is was a wierd looking Beech Starship except the tail threw me off.

Simprop used to have an electric kit of the Avanti.

And as an interesting aside, Mark Leseberg (Tuscon Shootout Winner) flies a full scale Avanti as a day job.
