Test flight held for small jet modeled after Miyazaki anime
I thought it was going to be named after "Porco Rosso" (<a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=855" rel="nofollow">http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=85...</a>), to be honest. Talking about "Porco Rosso", I got to briefly visit Trieste for the first time ever this summer, Miyazaki and his fellow animators really did a very good job of portraying everything about the city, from the beautiful light to the Austro-Hungarian buildings from downtown. I had only seen the movie once, about 10 years ago, but I had a strong deja-vu feeling as I was visiting the Trieste waterfront, from where the first ever commercial Italian airplane took off in the early '20s.
