The P180 is certainly a neat little airplane. Not nearly as new as most would think it to be. It always amazed me that they could get over 400kts with the same engines that I used to plod along with in the King Air at 285kts. Although I was dragging along a larger, less shapely airplane. Definatly a unique sound coming overhead, not really like the starship. It can also get off the ground in a reasonable distance, something the B2000 never could. It is also been improved lately with the AvantiII, a little faster and better avionics. That plane (and a lot of other US P180's) is operated by Avantair, a fractional ownership company.

Not really on topic, for all of you who thought the Starship was dead, here are a few pics of a living specimen found in the wild. Taken at Wiley Post airport just north of Oklahoma City on Feb. 27. One of 3 or 4 left in the world. Really a treat.

Also, I wouldn't say it is the ugliest corporate plane flying, but I did stumble across the inspiration for it.
