Name that plane (description only, sorry no photos)

[CFI A&P]

So this flew over me the other day, flying the visual to the local C airport. Tried Flight Aware and couldn't find it.

It was a twin turbo-prop pusher, no canard. Definitely not a Piaggio, those fly over daily and wasn't the same sound or shape. Swept wings and underwing fuel tanks like a Lockheed Jetstar. Almost like a modified Angel Aircraft.

Any guesses.

Beechcraft Starship?

Beechcraft Starship?

Starship has canards though.

Was it a long EZ? I know you said it was twin turboprop, but the fuel tank thing has me all confused

Never seen one of those before, that looks like a neat plane.

The only certified plane that sounds like that is an Adam 500. Very few produced. Starred in the Miami Vice movie about 5 yrs back. Just a guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_A500

Were the under wing tanks floats maybe?

Having a hard time visualizing a swept wing pusher with no canard.

I wish the Adam's had worked out. Such a cool looking plane.

That's a Russian Piston Amphib.

Was it a Piaggio P-166 Albatross, by chance?

That's the closest so far. Going to have to look up how many of those are in the states. I'll double check with the two people that were with me, but it wasn't centerline thrust like the A500 or C337.

Thanks for all the input.

That was my thought, or the Royal Gull
