Of course that price is bare metal. There's probably a surcharge
for turbines and avionics....

The Piaggio P.180 Avanti can do 400 knots for only $1.6
million.
I've been in one. Nice bird.

I sold it a few years ago. After we moved up into
the mountains, the round-trip time to the airport
just made flying impractical (over an hour each
way).
Yes. Same kind of plane. However JD made a number
of bone-headed decisions that made his demise all
but a foregone conclusion. If we have a few
minutes at the computer museum, I can cover some
of the more major bad decisions that were made.
Plus the fuel selector mechanism that had been
installed on that particular airplane was kind of
a kluge on top of a Rube Goldberg setup. Stupid.
Stupid. Stupid.

Is that what John Denver was flying on

When I was building the Long-EZ, there
was a debate among fiberglass airplane
builders about the tolerable temperatures
for ambient-temp cured fiberglass/epoxy
structures. The point being that too high
heat would be "very bad" for a
fiberglass/epoxy airplane.
So Burt Rutan and his crew did a bunch of
tests using various colors. What they
found was that pure white had the lowest
heat gain of any color. Black the worst.
Silver was right up there with gray.
Almost any tint had a significant heat
gain over ambient.
I painted my EZ pure white with no tints
whatsoever. It did have blue/gold trim
colors, but the trim was basically just
accent stripes on the fuselage and
winglets.

I think it is black in the infra
red spectrum.
Just
leave a chrome plated wrench
out in the sun for a few
hours.
Black
wrench will be much cooler.
You
can actually pick up the black
wrench but you can get a
blister from picking up and
holding a chrome one.
One
of my kids still has a scar
from the chrome tab of a car
seat belt.
We
knew she hated to be put in
the car seat, figured all the
screaming was just the normal
objections.
