Help me find the reg and where it's stored - look at this ad: https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/21566473/2003-piaggio-p-180-avantiI suspect it might be in Scottsdale, AZ. But that's just a guess. I've tried enlarging all pictures and enhancing them to get a reg, but can't get to it. The Skylane next to it has a visible reg, which would give a clue to its location, but the elevator is blocking too many numbers to make it out. Anyone know where this is or what reg it is? From pain schemes it's certainly an old ex-Avantair aircraft. I first though it could be N146SL (the notorious elevator shedder), but by looking at tail in picture, it seems the reg starts with N10-something...

Does this mystery have anything to do with Amelia Earhart? Adam is going to put together an Avanti and "slum" even faster? TRW strikes again? This is part of a scavenger hunt? Tom G has bought ANOTHER AIRPLANE? Come on, give me a clue Adam. My curiosity is expansive. Jg

It has to be either N105SL and N107SL.
The only other N10* registrations on Avantis are N105GP (2014 model) and N109MS (2000 model).

Agree - I hope we are not witnessing a slow motion train wreck. An Avanti that hasn’t flown in 4 years without engines? This thing is going to suck you dry Adam.
