A young businessman from Missouri has taken delivery of a factory-new Piaggio P.180 Avanti EVO, a turboprop produced by the Italian firm Piaggio Aerospace in Villanova d'Albenga and Genoa.

The aircraft has an eight-passenger VIP configuration and sports a custom grey and blue livery co-designed with the customer. It also features a significant technological innovation: it is the first Avanti EVO equipped with an Enhanced Vision System (EVS), designed to improve pilots' vision at night and in low-visibility conditions. This system comprises a high-resolution digital camera integrated with infrared technology, providing real-time information to the pilot and co-pilot's multifunction display.

Eleven other Avanti EVOs are currently in production at Piaggio Aerospace's factory in Villanova d'Albenga.
