Anyone who has been reading the blog for a long time will know that I like the Piaggio Avanti.  I think it is a massively underrated airframe which should be more popular with bizjet owners than some of the tiny and slower jets that sell well.  Oh well, that ship has sailed.  They show up occasionally and it is a good day if I get to see one.

This example was at Boeing Field.  It was heading out so I saw it taxi out and take off.  They usually have quite a long take off run so it was a fair distance away when it got airborne.  Another example has been around recently but I have not been able to see it.  Maybe the chance will present itself again before too long so I can get something a bit more exciting that just taxiing nearby.
