Three New Systems in AV8OR™ Series Announced – AV8OR™ Handheld Multi-Function Display, and AV8OR™ Horizon 3D and AV8OR™ Vision 3D Cockpit Information Systems with Synthetic Vision

OSHKOSH, Wis., July 28, 2008 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON), a leader in aircraft navigation and safety systems, used the occasion of EAA’s 2008 AirVenture Oshkosh to announce the launch of its new Bendix/King AV8OR™ Series – portable avionics for general aviation pilots.

“The new Bendix King AV8OR™ Series includes a variety of powerful, portable GPS navigation solutions, including the new MSRP $749 AV8OR™ Handheld Multi-Function Display and two synthetic-vision equipped portable cockpit information systems – the AV8OR™ Horizon 3D and AV8OR™ Vision 3D,” said Dan Barks, Director, General Aviation Aftermarket Avionics.

“These new systems bring pilots enhanced situational awareness in the cockpit and flexibility offered by a portable system. Each of these new AV8OR™ Series systems,” Barks said, “were designed and developed as a result of customer input from pilots, dealers and others in the general aviation industry.”

The AV8OR™ Horizon 3D and AV8OR™ Vision 3D include synthetic vision graphical rendering of the environment providing the pilot with a realistic view of the aircraft position and situation outside of the cockpit, by providing the pilot with real-time satellite weather information, topographic terrain and aeronautical navigation information. The systems are an asset to both VFR and IFR pilots that seek enhanced situational awareness with the flexibility offered by a portable system.

The AV8OR™ Horizon 3D includes a modern Samsung tablet PC with high resolution touch-screen display. The AV8OR™ Vision 3D features a ruggedized, ultra-high brightness touch-screen display and remote-mounted computer module. Both systems include air data sensor, attitude heading and reference system and GPS. Both interface with optional traffic sensors and datalink weather receivers, and both display approach plates for enhanced safety and convenience.

The AV8OR™ Handheld system also provides advanced GPS navigation tools for automotive usage.

“The AV8OR™ Handheld is ideal for any pilot that requires GPS navigation in the air or in the car, real-time weather, and navigator graphical moving map, with built-in entertainment system,” Barks said. “In addition to pilot-specific features, the AV8OR Handheld includes an all-in-one multimedia player with the ability to view or play music, movies, pictures and electronic books. The AV8OR™ Handheld is much more than an aviation GPS unit – it’s a handheld Multi-Function Display that pilots will want to keep with them from the car to plane, and even at their destination, for entertainment.”

The AV8OR™ Handheld’s high resolution 4.3-inch diagonal touch-screen, easy to use interface and innovative features such as ‘Smart Profile’ set a new standard in navigation at a suggested price almost every pilot can afford, Barks added. Smart Profile view is a unique vertical profile view of the flight path relative to terrain, airspace and obstacles. The AV8OR Handheld graphical interface makes in-flight navigation simple, with an on-screen keyboard, “Touch-and-See” identification of map objects, and “Touch-and-Drag” map panning.

The AV8OR Handheld is designed with an external interface to WxWorx XM Satellite Weather receiver available separately, and enables graphical NEXRAD, METARs, Storm Cell Tracks, AIRMETs/SIGMETs, Text METARs/TAFs, and more. The built-in multimedia system allows pilots to create library of music, movies, photos and electronic books on the included 4GB SD Card. The unit also includes a Bluetooth® interface for wireless weather, an interface to an alternate GPS receiver and even an interface to cellular phones.

The AV8OR™ Handheld is available through select Honeywell Bendix/King dealers at a manufacturer retail price of $749. In addition, through an exclusive deal between Honeywell and WxWorx, customers who purchase any of the three AV8OR models will receive a coupon good for $250 off select WxWorx receivers.

PHOENIX, July 29, 2008 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today it has delivered the Nitrogen Generation System (NGS) for the Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. The NGS delivers nitrogen enriched air to the aircraft center fuel tank, significantly reducing flammability and increasing commercial aircraft safety. On July 16, 2008, the Department of Transportation, National Transportation Safety Board, and Federal Aviation Administration jointly announced that within two years, all new aircraft must include technology designed to reduce the risk of center fuel tank fires.

The Honeywell NGS is the first fully FAA-certified fuel tank inerting solution for commercial transport aircraft. Honeywell is developing additional systems for the Boeing 737-300/400/500, 777-200/300, 747-400, and the 747-8 aircraft.

“Honeywell’s Nitrogen Generation System is based on more than 50 years of experience in the development of systems and equipment for aircraft environmental control,” said Garrett Mikita, President of Honeywell’s Air Transport and Regional business. “This system continues to extend Honeywell’s heritage of providing state-of-the-art solutions to increase aircraft safety.”

Using advanced thermal management and gas separation technologies, the NGS substantially reduces aircraft center fuel tank flammability by introducing nitrogen-enriched air to lower the oxygen concentration. The National Transportation Safety Board has stated that the combination of ignition source prevention and flammability reduction is the most effective means to prevent fuel tank explosions. The safety of aircraft currently in-service can also be enhanced with the addition of the Honeywell NGS.

Wells Fargo Growing Locations, Jobs in Glendale

Company to Open West Valley Hub, Community Banking Store

GLENDALE, June 28, 2006 – Wells Fargo has announced plans to locate a new West Valley hub, training center and traditional Community Banking store at the 91 Glendale business park, at the northeast corner of 91st Avenue and Glendale Road.  The new facility will house up to 250 Wells Fargo team members.

The 20-acre business park is being developed by Shea Properties, a division of the J.F. Shea Co., Inc., parent company of Shea Homes.

Gerrit van Huisstede, Phoenix-based regional president for Wells Fargo in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico, said the project will include a two-story, 50,000-square-foot office building and a separate 5,000-square-foot Wells Fargo Community Banking store.  They are scheduled to open in late 2007.  

“The West Valley is growing at a tremendous pace, and this new facility will allow us to better serve the needs of our business and retail customers in the area,” van Huisstede said.  “We’re growing our stores and services throughout the Valley, and this new hub is an example of our commitment to growing with our communities.”   

"Glendale is proud to be home to this new Wells Fargo facility," said Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs.  "It is our goal to bring more quality jobs to Glendale and demonstrate that our city is not only a great place to live, but a great place to work as well."

“The City of Glendale has worked hard to sustain its business climate, and Wells Fargo is a respected leader and key employer in the region,” said Barry Broome, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC).  “Both are valuable partners with GPEC, and we’re pleased to celebrate with them the announcement of this new hub.”

In 2005, Wells Fargo opened eight Arizona Community Banking stores, including two in the West Valley, at 4115 N. 108th Ave., and inside Fry’s supermarket, 13982 W. Waddell in Surprise.  The company plans to open 17 new Arizona Community Banking stores in 2006, including five in the West Valley.  Details about the new stores are being finalized and will be announced when they are completed.

 “Our Wells Fargo team connects customers with all the financial services they need to succeed financially, including banking, mortgage and home equity lending, financial planning, investments, business lending, insurance and more,” said Steve Hopkins, market president for Wells Fargo Community Banking in the Glendale area.  “We provide much more than banking to our customers – that’s why we call our locations ‘stores.’ ”

Nearly 250 Wells Fargo team members will work in the new 91 Glendale location, including those moving from other Valley sites, and 20 new positions for the Community Banking store.  The following Wells Fargo groups will be in the office building:

● Community Banking Training – nearly 40 full-time, permanent staff members, and up to 90 Wells Fargo Community Banking personal bankers and tellers in classes at any one time.

● West Valley Retail Administration – 26 team members.

● Wells Fargo Business Banking – approximately 50 team members including Professional Banking and Real Estate Banking specialists and West Valley Business Banking Administration.

● Wells Fargo Private Client Services – 2 team members.

● Wells Fargo Home Mortgage – 12 team members.
