rdmaxon Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have always really liked the look of this aircraft but had not thought I would see one in person. They are fairly rare in the States. Short story: I saw this one land at the Airport in Abingdon,Va and was allowed out on the ramp to shoot some pictures. This particular aircraft is owned/operated by Avantair.

jmenacker Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've been curious about the namesake of our vehicles too. Glad you got to see one up close and personal. Thanks for posting the pics! Best regards, Joe M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Boyle Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Nice shots. I've seen a couple flying, but not up close. There was a guy in Austin, Texas with one and he let his pilot base it in Abilene and communte with it. Then a couple of months ago, I saw mone in Nice, France on the Riveria...it looked at home there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschuc Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I wish you would have got some pictures of this flying Avanti with your Avanti! I'd love to use a shot of both avantis (aircraft and car) together for our Avanti calendar. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
