Honda Jet?

I read this story in the news minutes ago, and totally forgot that Honda had their own brand of small business jet.
I think I remember seeing this plane once before, but when still in concept stage, either way it's a cool snug little business jet that a company will start offering rides in for wealthier types, as an alternative to flying commercial airliners.

Lucky to be wealthy, if can afford around 3000 an hour rental, plus fuel.

For some reason, flying just doesn't appeal to me like it use to.
I guess cause the world has just shrank to me as I've gotten older.

When younger, airplanes were more like space ships to me, headed off into the unknown.

Some crazy aviation close calls and stunts here, especially that one pilot literally landing smack dab in the middle of the jungle.

Was watching a aviation show in Prime, and they were showing how over a decade ago, jet planes were being ran by biofuels, and said by 2014 jets would be running off biofuels...obviously that didn't happen, and so I wanted to know why.

Well the above video kind of explains why.

Problem is by the time you take a plant from field to engine ready, all the energy spent along the way to do that can actually burn more fuel collectively than fossil fuel does.

So ye, biofuels sound soxy, but the over all time and energy spend getting it from plant to engine ready is more carbon polluting than refining normal fossil fuel.

The video explains it better.

What a cuddly cool, pudgy twin sky truck airplane

When younger I used to love flying, it's all I could think about was flying and women (back when I had a foot fetish)
But now, flying, ugg, not so thrilled about it anymore, or I should say the process.
Airports, people, who needs it...

Wish I were rich enough to just charter my own Jet or turbo-prop across the country.



Ye, if could fly like this, in style, and away from the public, wouldn't be so bad.
I don't understand how celebrities, many of them, most of them, still fly regular airlines with the public.
That's gotta be awkward.
