Through years of ownership the two of you travel many miles together and in many cases you can end up seeing the mileage mark on your vehicle’s odometer. Anyone who has traveled an impressive distance with their vehicle knows that feeling of accomplishment you get when you see the mile marker on your odometer change to 100,000, 200,000 and so on. Honda has chosen to highlight these impressive traveling milestones through their Honda Miler Makers Club. As part of this club you can share your personal mile marker stories along with pictures and enjoy reading through the personal stories of other mile markers.

An impressive production milestone was recently achieved by Honda Aero, Inc. (HAI) when the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) presented the facility with a PART 21 Production Certificate.

Receiving this certification was an important milestone accomplishment for the HAI as this is the first time in the last 23 years of aviation history that a company has received an FAA certification for the development of a Jet Engine.  This now means that HAI now has the ability to begin producing engines under the HAI Production Certificate. "This is a great achievement for our team of Honda Aero associates and an important milestone in our effort to meet the needs of customers for the HF120 engine," said HAI President Masahiko Izumi. "Much work has gone into preparing for this certification, and we will continue working to support GE Honda Aero Engines as they prepare for entry into service with the HF120 engine."
