Honda Jets fly- got yours ordered yet? On the first day of EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, two Hondajets arrived, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-conforming HondaJets, one red and one blue, concluded the day with a flight demonstration that included a formation flyby. “EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has special significance for me. This event is where I introduced the proof-of-concept HondaJet to the world for the very first time. It was truly the beginning of Honda’s exciting venture into aviation,” said Honda Aircraft president and CEO Michimasa Fujino. “I am very excited that EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has once again provided the setting for the first public appearance and demonstration flight of not one, but two FAA-conforming HondaJets.” “EAA AirVenture is an annual celebration of both the past and future of flight,” said Jack Pelton, chairman of the Board for the Experimental Aircraft Association. “We are watching Honda’s pioneering efforts with the HondaJet with great interest and enthusiasm. We welcome the aircraft to Oshkosh as Honda shares it with the world’s flying community.” The two jets at AirVenture 2013 are Honda Aircraft Company’s third and fifth FAA-conforming HondaJets. Conforming aircraft meet the final specifications of a production HondaJet. Honda Aircraft is targeting the end of 2014 for FAA certification of the HondaJet. The $4.5 million light jet seats up to six in a standard configuration (one crew and five passengers or two crew and four passengers) and includes a private aft lavatory.
