Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today it is set to deliver the first of five Citation Mustangs ordered by the Singapore Flying College in Australia to support its advanced training program.
The order came through Aeromil Pacific, Cessna's authorized sales representative in Australia, and was announced at last year's Experimental Aircraft Association's annual week-long conference – AirVenture.
Singapore Flying College is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines and is responsible for ab initio and advanced pilot training. It has its advanced training facility at the Sunshine Coast Airport in Queensland and currently operates four aircraft, two simulators and a college campus, producing up to 200 graduates each year. Aeromil Pacific provides maintenance and other support elements for the college.
The five new Cessna Citation Mustangs will be delivered over the next three years. The arrival of the first Mustang on the Sunshine Coast Airport is set for June 2010, along with two full flight level D Mustang Simulators later in the year.
