This Piaggio has been one of my favorite projects in recent years—I’m so excited to share it with you. Also, stay tuned... we’ve got a Piper Restoration coming here soon. Thanks for watching!

It's always interesting to me how airplane mechanics have such wide areas of expertise. I have never interact with one but watching videos seeing them work on electronics, installing avionics, then working on staining a wood interior piece is amazing

You did a very good job!!! It looks even better than the last EVO version 😊

[dariushmilani]

Amazing restoration. 6 minutes does not do justice to the hard work the team has put in.👍👍If possible please upload a longer version. Thank you.

The interior looks great! I think black cabinets look very sharp. Good stuff Tony.

Piaggio Just found you on YouTube. Great Going to watch it from start to finish. West Texas Guy....

It's definitely the coolest airplane around and a very very very cool project. Thank you for sharing this rebuild. If you have expanded content on the component builds like avionics, cabin refit, engines I'd love to see them!

Love the Piaggio such a beautiful and unique design.

Phenomenal what a treat to see such a cool airplane receive this level of attention!

I wish you guys where around (many years ago!) when I was buying jets and reselling them, interiors used to be a pain, especially with very long lean times on testing and fabrics etc..

Beautiful job on the exterior and interior. I have flown this plan in X-Plane 12 flight simulator. By the way, I never knew that crap could be sexy...LOL

[Pixelatedworld-iudd]

Great Job on such a beautiful aircraft.

@ 1:33, Garmin avionic is much better than the obsolete Collins pro-line. Great decision!

The Piaggio Avanti is my dream airplane to fly and own. Maybe one day... I notice it is coming to Tulsa tomorrow morning Monday 27th I hope I can video it. If you are on the flight could I say hi and see the interior? It would be nice but I understand if it's not possible.

Great Job! What is going to be in the old CDU space? Don't need it anymore since you have the Garmin and seeing it's empty spaces now.

Piaggio 180 Aero are the reason I play lotto.

[mapple]

never realized there was an indursty of spec plane builders. seems risky but really fun to bet on a plane.

[lamontmiller]

The best turboprop in the world, I'm not a pilot, but whenever I see mixture controls I see that as old tech. They don't make fadec engines for these planes?

[PremiereAv]
