Honda Jet testing - Piedmont Triad to Asheville Regional

Testing all weather capability - light rain at 8000

Turning for Asheville as we enter the Appalachians

Starting the approach

Crosswind makes touchdown a little scary

At the hangar for post flight inspection

I suppose the engines are honda, not the plane.

I hope only the engine is Honda... Otherwise you would have one rusty bizjet. But the engines would run forever with no work. ::) Nice pics djmis, its an interesting looking jet.

I just realized. The engines are on the wing. Not the fuselage. Thats pretty cool.

Does that mean I shouldnt sit on the wings of planes anymore while they are in flight???

No dirt or other stuff from the runway can enter the engine. A considerable advantage,if you're asking me.

Another, older example for this concept:
