Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company,
announced today that the second Citation Mustang was delivered into
demo service last week. The aircraft is on display here at the Sun 'n
Fun Fly-In along with another Citation Mustang.
"The production facility is ramping up and further deliveries are
planned for later this month. We are on track to deliver 40 Citation
Mustangs this year," said Roger Whyte, senior vice president, Sales

The Garmin G1000 equipped Citation Mustang is the first aircraft
with an integrated flight deck that is certified to take advantage of
WAAS navigation features, including approaches that provide both
lateral and vertical guidance. The Garmin G1000 avionics suite also
includes a new feature called SafeTaxi which gives a graphical
representation of the aircraft on the ground in the airport
environment.
The six-place Citation Mustang has a top speed of 340 ktas (nearly
400 miles per hour), a range of 1,150 nautical miles (1,323 statute

feet (12,500 m).
