Bombardier stole the show in Geneva at May’s European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, with its spectacular revelation of a pair of new models. Meanwhile, a true pioneer of the bizjet industry, Michimasa Fujino unveiled the latest version of his exceptional creation, the HondaJet Elite. We’re honoured to feature the great man and his aeroplane in this issue.
