Made the mistake of showing that thing to my wife & son. :eek: The only thing that saved me was a review I found with C&D data showing $1800/hr to operate…

Where would one go to learn more from actual operators?

For 400kts....that is less than half price!

My PC12 Service Center also is an Avanti Service Center. He said "I'll never see you, but I see these guys all the time" (while he was pointing at a P180). That was enough to scare me away.

A p180 pilot told me he could hear his passengers conversations at normal volume level, it has a super quite cabin.

I did also read that the EVO has a new main landing gear. Used to be a pretty expensive 12 year item with the Dowty Rotol gear they came with. Now they’ve got a new gear that costs less than half to overhaul, apparently. Every 15th year only.

Also, first delivery has taken place to Greece. Five more are about to get delivered.

An Avanti has flown over me a couple times nearby KSQL the past couple days. Man, they are brutally loud for flyover noise. And this is coming from a guy who A) likes airplanes, and B) owns an MU-2!
