Honda Aircraft’s HondaJet will mark its first appearances at both the Sun ’n’ Fun International Fly-In next week in Lakeland, Florida, and the 2017 Asian Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (ABACE) the following week in Shanghai. In addition to being on static view at Sun ’n’ Fun from April 4 to 9, the new light jet will also take part in the daily aerial displays.
At the Florida show, U.S. Southeast Honda Aircraft dealer Banyan Air Service will be showing HondaJet N21HJ, which has a deep-green finish, at the Honda Power Sports chalet. At this airside display, the twinjet will be accompanied by Honda Power Sports and Honda Marine products. Honda will also have a ground-side exhibit, where it will show its line of gas generators and lawn equipment that have been staples at previous Sun ’n’ Fun shows, though the latter will also include the debut of Miimo, the company’s new robotic lawn mower.
Not only will the HondaJet fly in Sun ’n’ Fun’s daily fly-by showcase before the aerobatic airshow, but the airplane will also be joined by the Honda Generators-sponsored Race 90 T-6 in a “unique formation appearance of Honda-branded aircraft."
