Honda will invest about $100 million to put up the plant, hire 283 people and pay them $70,000 each (double the average salary in Greensboro) and start making two-engine HondaJets.
The five (American) to seven (Japanese) passenger jet will weigh less than 10,000 lbs and cruise at about 450 mph.
The price tag...if you have to ask, you can't afford one - $3.65 million each.
The jets are small enough that nearly all of the 5,200 public use airports in the U.S. will become accessible.
I guess I'd better start saving up for one. Oh, and I need a pilot licenses, too.
I'll bet your sweetheart would like one of these babies for Valentine's Day.
What do you think?
