Anyone else see a weird plane over GBT today?

Raytheon in wichita?

Nope, I got beechjet 400/400A and King Air 350 training there, I worked for Raytheon Aircraft Services when it was at Love Field next to Business Jet Center. I worked there from 2000-2005. There was a starship based somewhere in Texas and we did the maintenance for it in 2001-2003

I've always found pusher prop planes fascinating. The beechcraft starship takes the cake, but I also have an affection for the Cessna Skymaster - especially the wartime Skymasters used in Vietnam. This is the plane Danny Glover flew in BAT21.

I think the Piaggio P180 Avanti is equally as sweet:

Lol...looks just like a UAV

Fuck you. I only saw the bottom of it from the rear (no homo), couldn't see a cockpit or windows indicating a cockpit, and since I've never seen a manned pusher prop plane I (obviously wrongly) assumed it was a UAV.

its a cool airplane that just didnt have a following when it came out...I remember several higher up were saying it was because of the economy at the time and taxes, not to mention the cost of maintenance for these things. If you ever have a chance to go up in one take it cause its a fun and maneuverable. I know the headache of working on one, but I'd still want one!
