''Any thoughts on the Piaggio P166''
Yeah Dave.............I flew the old Wards 'portofino' P166 that had the IGSO540s in the 70's. The old girl flew OK, and it was a good solid IF platform too.

I did my P166 endorsement with Wes Guy.............we went out around Craigieburn and Wes shut one engine down for all the single-engine airwork. Time to get it going again for the return to Essendon and ............... it wouldn't start, and so my first landing on the aircraft turned out to be a one-engine inoperative landing!
