Wing in back, elevator in front. And then he has the engines facing he wrong way too.  This is the first time I have spotted a Piaggio here in Kansas City.  Not just one, but two!

Nice captures! 40D ~ EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM ~ EF 50mm f/1.4 USM ~ EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM

Aug 21, 2008 07:45 | #3 Thanks A2EVOMR. I was at the airport practicing with a rented 100-400 Canon when I spotted these two great looking aircraft. I was trying to get a good shot of the 2 F-15s that were pushed back into the hanger but it was a little dark in there to get anything too good.

Aug 22, 2008 06:50 | #6 Very nice! I wonder if they were being ferried to their final owner/destination. At least the lookup for N173SL says it's a pending registration. -- Don Fuller --

Aug 22, 2008 08:00 | #7 I saw that too Scout7id. These things must have been swarming or something. I just noticed that the one I caught flying is a different tail number than the other two.

Aug 22, 2008 22:11 | #9 Nice shots JB. It was kind of a slow day down there today wasn't it. There sure are a lot of these Piaggio's coming and going from this airport. I have seen 4 different tail numbers in the last 3 days.
