Big Plane Envy -- Piaggio Edition

I've decided that this is the plane I would buy if I could. It's a pusher with a canard and I don't know what any of that really means in terms of flight characteristics, but man is it pretty! This one was sitting on the ramp at Palo Alto as I walked to my tiny Cessna 172 for more cursed flight training.

Here's Owen flying it from nearby San Jose Airport.
