In September, Textron Aviation was awarded a contract by CAP for
the further acquisition of 15 Cessna piston engine aircraft. CAP
agreed to purchase 14 Skyhawk 172S and one Skylane 182T
aircraft.
“From search and rescue, to disaster relief and homeland
security, the missions CAP undertakes daily are as broad as their
footprint across the U.S. We are honored that Cessna aircraft
continue to be the organization’s platform of choice for these
crucial operations,” said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special
Missions Sales. “The Cessna piston aircraft fleet is renowned in
general aviation for its operating costs, performance and
durability, all important factors for an organization supporting a
variety of communities throughout the country.”
As the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, CAP performs missions for
government agencies, and as a non-profit organization they also
serve states and communities. In 2022, CAP flew more than 100,000
hours and saved 151 lives, conducting Air Force-assigned missions
as well as support for states and communities. CAP is the world’s
largest Cessna piston aircraft operator.
“Civil Air Patrol is thrilled to welcome these new Cessna
aircraft to the world’s largest fleet of single-engine piston
aircraft,” said Maj. Gen. Edward D. Phelka, CAP’s national
commander/CEO. “CAP is proud to continue to partner with Textron
Aviation as we utilize their outstanding products in executing
complex and varied missions for America.”
