After twenty years, if there haven't been too many accidents, maybe it can be considered safe. I notice in the photo gallery, the only mention of safety shows a photo of an emergency exit. There are zillions of pictures of the cabin, but only one of the flight deck. Clearly, the audience is the rich businessman and the pilots are merely servants.

I don't know about the last part, but time will tell. When did Honda become a significant name in aviation? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Pretty much the day they said they were going to build an airplane. Thought it could be argued it was when they said they were going to build an airplane engine. |
