Lexington Airport...Aviation Museum (2)


Here are some of the planes that where outside the building, on the tar-matt.






You are not allowed out there without one of the volunteers with you, and they have to be wearing the big badge around their neck, or you will have airport security to deal with.

This is one of the planes used by the flying school next to the museum.


This Italian made plane came in. Wow, notice the prop is in the rear. Nice. Tim, our guide and pilot for one of the airlines, smiled and said, very nice and very very fast. Guess, fast is better even in airplanes, if you are a guy.

This is what the web site says about the Avanti. I want one, please.

With its sleek Italian design, incredibly high speed and large cabin, the P180 Avanti II jet charter provides busy business air travelers the luxury and quality charter flight they deserve. A lot can be said about the P180 Avanti its unique aerodynamic design and luxurious amenities. A practical as well as plush aircraft, the turboprop has a 1,750 nautical mile range and staggering cruising speed of 400 miles per hour. It also boasts the largest cabin in its class, complete with a full lavatory. The Avanti II is also an exceptionally quiet aircraft, affording passengers piece of mind after a long day of business meetings.

  1. Marie I have family that work on the Avanti planes. Very high end. A lot more than my budget, but very nice!
