HondaJet

After 15 years in development, Honda is introducing their debut into aviation, the HondaJet, at this year's EAA Air Venture in Oshkosh. It's an ultralight jet sporting Honda turbofan engines that should allow even meager CEO's to have their lunch breaks in a different state. It looks pretty slick, and I'm sure the Honda tuning community will be all over it in a few weeks, maybe adding a bigger wing in the back or tinting the windows. The last time I was at EAA the coolest thing I saw was a simulated WWII bombing raid and dogfight, complete with ground explosions and authentic B-1 bombers and P-51 Mustangs. If it wasn't for the overweight family gorging on cotton candy standing next to me, I would've thought it was France, 1943.
