Wichita, KS - March 25, 2004 -
Cessna has delivered its 5000th single engine piston aircraft, a Skylane, since the restart of production in Independence, Kansas. This remarkable milestone takes place only seven years after the delivery of the first Independence-built airplane.
"When we restarted single engine piston aircraft production and delivered our first new airplane in 1997, we knew we were beginning an exciting journey," said Roger Whyte, Cessna's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We have built a new facility, trained a new
workforce
, and sold and delivered 5,000 airplanes in less than a decade. This commendable achievement is because of the hard work and dedication of the entire Cessna team.
"This accomplishment is proof of our commitment to delivering the world's most popular, reliable, and safest airplanes. Teaching people how to fly has been Cessna's passion for over 77-years. We will continue to hold firm to that principle and will invest in this area of the market."
The 5,000th airplane was purchased by Mr. Karl Fillip of Alliance
Equipment Leasing
, LLC. Hill Aircraft and
Leasing
Corporation, a Cessna Sales Team Authorized Representative (CSTAR) in Atlanta, was instrumental in the sale of the aircraft.
Cessna's current single engine piston aircraft product line includes the 172R Skyhawk, 172S Skyhawk SP, 182T Skylane, T182T Turbo Skylane, 206H Stationair, and T206H Turbo Stationair. In 2003, Cessna announced Garmin's new G1000 all-glass integrated avionics system as a Nav III option on all Skylanes and Stationairs.
