Cessna Features Airplanes, TV Stars At Oshkosh Exhibit

Era Airlines Personnel From 'Flying Wild Alaska' Featured At Cessna Exhibit

Cessna is featuring a full line of its popular propeller aircraft as well as several Citation business jets during its week-long exhibit at the annual Experimental Aircraft Association’s AirVenture 2011 in Oshkosh, WI. Cessna also will host personalities from the Discovery Channel’s hit television show Flying Wild Alaska at its exhibit July 29-30 and representatives from Bye Energy July 26-27 to discuss the company’s electrically powered 172 Skyhawk project.

Cessna will feature at its exhibit the 162 Skycatcher, 172 Skyhawk, 182 Skyklane, 206 Turbo Stationair, 208 Grand Caravan and a Citation Mustang and Citation CJ4, Cessna’s newest business jet and the largest member of the popular CJ family.

Ariel Tweto, Luke Hickerson, John Ponts and Doug Stewart will be at Cessna’s static display from 1100 to 1300 and 1500 to 1700 on July 29-30. They will sign autographs and talk about the reality show, which showcases many of the 40+ Cessna aircraft in the airline’s fleet. "Flying Wild Alaska" premiered in January with 10 episodes featuring the family-run Era Alaska airline. The show became the highest-rated new series launch in the network’s history, prompting the Discovery Channel to renew the show for a second season.

Cessna also is marking the 15th anniversary of the resumption of production of single-engine piston aircraft at its facility in Independence, KS. Cessna discontinued single-engine piston aircraft production in Wichita in the 1980s due in part to rising liability costs and re-entered the market after the 1994 passage of the U.S. General Aviation Revitalization Act. Cessna has delivered more than 9,000 single-engine piston aircraft from Independence and more than 154,500 single-engine pistons since the company’s original founding in 1927.
