Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The donation and auction of the ‘Bird Dog’ is deeply significant to our workforce. What people might not remember is during part of World War II Cessna shut down our commercial operations and manufactured aircraft solely for military operations. More than 10 percent of the Cessna workforce is either a veteran themselves or a family member of a veteran, so this Bird Dog auction is meaningful for Cessnans. We value the mission of the Armed Forces Foundation and are pleased to support their work through this donation."
