2017’s Summer of World Tours
Piper’s M600, Bell Helicopter’s 429 and the HondaJet all got the chance to circumnavigate the globe at some point this summer.

The summer of 2017 can officially be referred to as the summer of world tours. Piper’s M600, Bell Helicopter’s 429 and the HondaJet all circumnavigated the globe. Over the course of a six-week trip in May and June the M600 flew directly across the Atlantic for the first time. Meanwhile, HondaJet’s 80-day tour marked the first time that the aircraft has embarked on such a journey. The Bell 429, built near Montreal and outfitted with Honeywell’s connectivity services, flew around the globe to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday and showcase Honeywell's connectivity.
