A Subaru-powered airplane is believable. A Fuji-powered motorcycle is a Polaris product.

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #4
?

The flying (apparently tilt blade) MC is pure Popular Science / Popular Mechanics / Mechanix Illustrated, but Subaru (Fuji) originally designed their boxer engine for small aircraft. And, Fuji has supplied engines to Polaris for a long time.
