Beech Starship

Definitely one living South of the border. Chihuahua, I think.

I know I have seen one sitting in Tampico. Never saw it flying, and it's probably still sitting there. What a shame!

Story goes, was stolen then crashed in Mexico, Fixed, and the owner traded it for another A/C in mexico. Raython said F**k it too much trouble to bring it back. It sits there to this day, It can be seen in Google earth. At least thats the rumor.

Not a rumor - I just checked it out and you can indeed see a Starship sitting on the ramp. On the northwest side of the ramp.

as of last year, i at least know N8244L was flying. it stopped in for an overnight where i work. i had never seen one fly in my life. i caught "starship" on the tower frequency and went running like a bat out of hell to the ramp to catch it flying. i got off at midnight and spent the night at work to watch it rotate in the morning. incredible!

Brother, did anybody let you know it is just an airplane? Waiting all night for poontang is one thing, but an old turboprop?

You need to find a hobby or a woman.

well, aside from my motorcycle, aviation IS my hobby. as far as i'm concerned, it's the most beautiful thing in the air. it's an ultra rarity these days to have the chance to see one fly, so i felt obligated to take advantage of the chance when offered. it's not as if i stood out on the ramp staring at it all night, i crashed in the snooze room at work.

I'm just bustin' yer balls.

I live in ICT so I've seen a bunch of 'em.

When I was a wee lad I'm pretty sure I remember walking into a hangar at AUS and found a Starship inside. Don't know who it belonged to.
