Me not a spotter - but me really intrigued!

Me coasting out low level - lovely clear sky - not a pidgeons fart in the air.

Something outbound 30+ - only a/c painting the sky

Now get this " Looked like an overgrown Beech Starship" but with tail mounted fans, and the size of a 722?

Never seen anything like it in 17 years flying - any one know or shed any light?

weird :8

P180 Piaggio Avanti and maybe not as high as you thought?

Errr, no sorry - being very experienced with the P180, definatley not - very large sweep on the wings and fans not props.

Looked like a rutan vari-eze the size of a 727 - come on someone must know - or can look back?
