“A woman in a relationship with me can expect to see the world in a way she’s never imagined possible.”

Like visionaries before him, former Airline Pilot and USAF F-16 Fighter Pilot Kirk Hawkins, with the conception of his sexy, innovative 2-seat sport plane, will change how we view aviation. Believing planes should be designed with the total consumer experience in mind – like great sport cars are – this Stanford grad founded ICON Aircraft. Its first product, the ICON A5 is under development. Kirk hopes to navigate through life with his own “wing woman” who shares his insatiable appetite for romance and adventure.
