Default identifying an aircraft

I think that somebody already answered you, but just in case:

It's a Piaggio Avanti P.180. (http://www.piaggioaero.com/) Reno is one
of our mx bases.

12,100 lb T/O weight
395 knots at 28,000 feet.

It's the worlds fastest business turboprop.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if someone could help me identify and aircraft I saw several
times on a reason visit to Reno? The plane is has twin pusher props,
the tail is delta shaped and the aircraft canard . . . it looked a
little like one that Beechcraft made . . . I can't remember the name
but the wing and tail wing configuration was completely different.
There were two of these planes flying out of RNO. Thank you, Tim
