Aircraft: Citation SII
Hello world,
I'm phil ogilby, been a pilot for 6 + yrs and love "being up there", live in NE FL fly out of KFIN or KDAB typically.

started on a Cirrus SR22, next was an EPIC LT turboprop (bad ass machine)

now flying a Citation SII. Checked off that "jet pilot" box but it's too much plane for me, typically don't need all the seats and mostly growing weary of the fuel bills.Painted and upgraded the Citation and it's for sale on controller now.

close to a deal to buy a Piaggio P-180, wondering if anyone has any TUG suggestions for the Piaggio?? 8k lb plane empty, need to find something.

Welcome to Beechtalk!

There's an Avanti thread here somewhere.

Welcome! Yes, that P-180 thread is a great one. Several BTers have upgraded to them so there is a lot of great info and the thread is still active.

I'm curious about the SII. How was the TKS? It seems like a great mix between a II and a V but the TKS gives me pause. I also flew an SR22 before the 501 and it worked fine there but I was part of a club so didn't have to deal with it maintenance-wise.

The AC Air Tugs are really good for heavier aircraft. I regret selling mine with a lazy susan.

This one would work well for the P180:
