Due to a failed hard drive, I was forced to clean out the hanger. Good thing, I found an old friend, the Starship. Too bad Beech scrapped nearly all of them with only 2 or 3 left flying, one belonging to Burt Rutan.

5 registered as of yesterday....but still that is really low.
The Rutan Starship is actually not a Beech Starship, it is a slightly scaled down test bed for the Starship. I saw it at Oshkosh last year, definitely to small for corporate use! It did fly there though during 'showcase' one day. Sounds really different and seemed to be pretty sporty.

Thank you for the nice shots! Wink

This airplane deserves a lot more recognition that it gets....and deserves a 2nd chance.
