Cry beechcraft has decided to cut up all their remaining starships for liability issues. the only one they didnt cut up was one donated to the kansas aviation museum. i hate to see such a "revolutionary" aircraft go away

Welll, it was quite a revolution but as long as we have FS 2000/2002 and Abacus' Corporate Pilot add-on we can always enjoy it.  It's a sahme they didn't do a little more work with it as the sort of similar Piagio Avanti is a big hit.  I wish someone would creat a complex Avanti model for FS.  If it isn't the fastest turbo prop twin around it's got to be in the top few at least.  It can run right with a CJ 1 or Beech 400 or when they are ready a Mustang or Elcipse with a top cruise speed of 380kts and it can do it @ like 30 gallons and hour which is very efficient for such speed.

(why did i do this, idk)

there is a guy who owns a starship, an bought used parts from the company in New Mexico who is dismantling them. he has enough spare parts to build 2 new starships.

i saw an espisode of this on Discovery HD.
