Civil Air Patrol orders 21 Cessna aircraft for emergency missions

Textron Aviation has finalized an order with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) for twenty-one additional Cessna piston aircraft. These new planes will primarily support training exercises and disaster response operations conducted by CAP. The acquisition expands CAP’s current fleet of single-engined Cessna models to a total of 543. The Civil Air Patrol, recognized as the world's largest operator of Cessna aircraft, relies heavily on this type of aircraft for its vital missions. This investment underscores the continued partnership between Textron Aviation and CAP in providing critical aviation resources.
