The Beechcraft (Raytheon-Beech 2000) Starship is a Burt Rutan design. Like all of his designs, it differs from the expected configuration. I had searched many an airport for signs of one and finally found one in Punta Gorda, FL. Many existing planes have been decommissioned by Raytheon, which owns all but four of the flying planes. The few visible remaining ones are placemarked as are museums where they are displayed inside.
