OSHKOSH, Wis., July 26, 2010 - Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today, at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual week-long conference - AirVenture 2010, the "Mustang Ease Into the Saddle" Program for new Citation Mustang customers.

"This limited-time program is designed to remove apprehension some customers may feel as they transition from a single-engine or a turboprop aircraft into a business jet," said Roger Whyte, Cessna's senior vice president of Sales and Marketing.

"As part of the program, Cessna corporate pilots will act as a 'coach' in a customer's new Mustang. The Cessna 'coach' will help familiarize the customer with normal operations and procedures prior to the customer's training at FlightSafety. We want safe and comfortable transitions for all of our new Mustang customers," Whyte said.

A Citation Mustang is on display in Cessna's exhibit at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual week-long conference – AirVenture 2010.

Cessna has delivered more than 300 Mustangs to customers around the world. In 2010 dollars, a typically equipped Mustang has a retail price of just over $3 million.
