Cessna's Citation Mustang Reaches 500-Order Milestone

First Plane Delivered In April 2007

Cessna Aircraft Company announced Tuesday at the 2008 Lakeland Fly-In the planemaker recently surpassed 500 orders for the Citation Mustang entry-level business jet.

"We were confident that once our customers started flying the Citation Mustang we'd have very happy owners and accelerated orders. The response from the global market has been nothing short of exceptional," said Roger Whyte, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, at Cessna. "The Mustang is now certified in 47 countries, and the fleet of approximately 60 aircraft has accumulated more than 10,500 hours so far. Customers are extremely pleased with the airplane, the only fully operational entry level business jet
available."

Cessna delivered the first retail Citation Mustang to Dave and Dawn Goode of GOODE Ski Technologies on April 23, 2007, and finished the year with 45 delivered. From Cessna's facility in Independence, KS, the company expects to deliver 100 Mustangs by the end of 2008 and reach its targeted full production rate of about 150 aircraft per
year by the end of 2009.

The six-place Citation Mustang has a top speed of 340 knots, a range of 1,150 nautical miles (with NBAA IFR Reserves) and a service ceiling of 41,000 feet, enabling more efficient operations above most weather and commercial traffic.

The aircraft features a fully functional Garmin G1000 system that includes two 10-inch primary flight displays and one 15-inch multi-function display.
