Rare photos of Honda's 1988 B2 mockup at the Everglades Jetport
Stumbled upon these obscure photos of a flying wing while digging into some Florida Everglades history. I found them on the Facebook profile of Carol Lord, whose family operated Monroe Station nearby and who later worked as a security guard at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport - aka, the Everglades Jetport!
Anyways, this isn't a new discovery; it is known that a B2 mockup was built for Honda in 1988 for use in a CRX commercial. Jalopnik wrote an article about it in 2013 and there's been a few posts about it on Reddit throughout the years. Sadly it appears the museum that eventually owned it scrapped it some 20+ years ago. Here's another link with a bit more about it from someone who was involved with the commercial: https://aviationmuseum.eu/Blogvorm/south-dakota-air-space-museum/
I hadn't seen these pictures posted anywhere before so I figured they were worth sharing!
