"The aircraft continues to set the mark for entry level business jet operations around the world, and its demand has remained fairly resilient during the past year," said Jack J. Pelton, Chairman, President and CEO. "It has found success in air taxi and charter operations, in flight departments, in training organizations as well as with owner-operators."

The 300th Mustang will be delivered later this year to a retail customer in Australia.

The Citation Mustang is the world's first fully certified entry-level business jet. It was announced at the 2002 National Business Aviation Association convention and made its first flight in April 2005. The first Citation Mustang was delivered in April 2007.

The Mustang features Garmin avionics, Pratt & Whitney Canada engines and boasts a maximum 1,200-nautical mile range. Price at delivery was right at $3 million.
