Well it could have been a Piaggio Avanti, another very unique looking plane,
does have a canard, but not a "rear wing" think its more of a "3 lifting
surface" aircraft, wiht twin turboprops in a pusher configuration. Looking
at it from the front it looks like a catfish.... Here's a link::
http://www.piaggioamerica.com/ And i haven't seen a starship in a long time,
hear beech is trying to buy them back and hack them to bits.

In a previous article, said:
Two weeks ago I was down in NJ visiting the inlaws. They live in
Cedar Grove, and there is normally a LOT of airplane activity overhead
from Kennedy, Laquardia and Newark, beside Caldwell and a few other
airports nearby.


As I said in my blog entry of November 14th, 2003, whenever anybody asks
"what was that airplane", they just saw a Beech Starship:
