    MarkPDX....

    Where were you when you shot that photo ? Was it Sky Harbour in Phoenix ?

    One of my clients has one, and it's that exact color scheme....I have a photo of it, but can't check the tail regi number until I get to work.

    It was at a small airport in New Braunfels which is about 30 miles northeastish of San Antonio. I kind of got the impression that it was a charter plane but I'm not really sure.

    It's not his....the tail regi is different.....but the color scheme is "exactly" the same.

    A Piaggio salesman told me that if you pay $16M for a Piaggio scooter they throw the jet in for free :)

    DallasGuy......

    Now "THAT" Piaggio is my customer's actual airplane......and that is also the 360 Spider that I sold him as well. This is the same client who also has the Porsche GT2 and the L-39 jet fighter trainer that I posted about in a couple of other threads.

    Piaggio took that PR photo at Calgary Internatonal Airport 3-4 months ago when he took delivery of it. You can see the Rocky Mountains in the background. This particular picture has also been on the cover of a few magazines here in the city as well.
