A revolutionary aircraft type that promised much but did not deliver... This Starship was registered N82428 to Beech on 8 October 1992. It remained owned by Beech in various guises until 2000 when it was re-registered N786BP to 86 BP Inc. In 2003 Beech began buying back all the Starships to reduce the support burden, and this aircraft was purchased from disposal agents Evergreen in 2004 by Pay's Air Service in Australia for its engines. Ferried from Scone to Caloundra on 24 November 2004, where the engines were removed and the airframe became a training aid. Acquired by QAM in January 2015.
