Its kinda cool to see a company headquartered here and product built in Greensboro in global ads. HondaJet has its own ad but its seen in some of its automobile ads as well.

In addition to production of jets later this year, Honda is planning a $20 million 90,000 sq ft service center on its 133 acre campus at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

rendering of the planned building below. Construction will start this summer and will be completed by Summer of 2013. Also work began this month on the company’s first full-motion flight simulator, which will be used for pilot training. The device will be based at PTI. The jets will have many amenities. Passengers will be able to use their wireless mobile devices, such as a smartphone, to control the jet’s cabin lighting, temperature, music and window shades. And they’ll be able to use them to monitor the jet’s altitude, air speed and flight track.

The new aviation building (rendering) at Guilford Technical Community College's aviation campus in Greensboro near the airport will include a flight simulator and labs. The groundwork has been laid to attract an aviation and aerospace cluster around PTI.
