   @Christmas_Man @Royper Out of curiosity I looked to see fi they’re even still making them. No surprise there’s like, 3 different insolvencies in their history. Surprisingly it says they made almost 220 in 2017, or about 250 today. A whole bunch were sold to the italian gov, so it’s not like they’re selling on strength….

   Funny to note “the fractional aircraft operator Avantair was Piaggio’s largest client, with a fleet of 57 Avanti aircraft,[27] before they went bankrupt and the fleet was liquidated.”

   Sometime I advise the buyers on a lot is to decide their target passenger. The hubby can nerd out and buy a plane logically, decide to get the best speed/range/economy he can, but if the wife doesn’t like the plane she’ll drag her feet any time they wanna go somewhere. She’ll find excuses NOT to fly. If he buys something she likes, and makes the experience enjoyable, then he’ll be flying that sumbitch every saturday.

   It’s the same here. The piaggio is a fine aircraft, considering it by left-brain standards. It’s got a promising blend of features, but if the people paying the bills don’t like it, why drop $10 million on it? This industry is expensive, just like a luxury sports car you can’t m;ove metal by talking about spec sheets. That sells to the autists, and despite their prevalence in aviation, you still have a better time selling to normies.

   Would the average wannabe 8/10 gold digger want to get fingered in the piaggio, or a Phenom? They’re about the same:
