Just thought that this was interesting. Honda is getting closer and closer to pulling its first jet off the production line.

http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2010...rst_flight.html

This aircraft is supposed to be one the best in the VLJ class.

Some more info on this jet, along with a comparison to other jets in its class.

I think I'll stop by the dealership and see what kind of financing options I have of one of these...I bet it handles well.

I thought Honda was trying to stay profitable, by cutting off unnecessary vehicles that do not improve the bottom line.

I think they had the lazy Acura designers working on this plane.
