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.
