Cessna Becomes Exclusive Sponsor of SAFE's Website

Burnet, TX, February 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron (NYSE:TXT) company, and the Society of Aviation & Flight Educators (SAFE) recently entered into an agreement that grants Cessna an exclusive two year sponsorship of SAFE's website.

According to Cessna Pilot Centers Manager, Julie Filucci, "Cessna has long recognized the important symbiotic relationship between building airplanes and teaching people how to fly them. This is embodied in the philosophy behind our Cessna Pilot Centers, the Safety Stand Down Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic Cessna developed last year, and now in our relationship with SAFE."

“I look forward to our partnership with Cessna”, said Doug Stewart Chairman of SAFE, “and in having their support as we move ahead, together, to improve the safety of flight through quality aviation education.”

Based on unit sales, Cessna is the largest manufacturer of general aviation airplanes, delivering more than 192,000 aircraft to customers around the world. SAFE, founded in early 2009, is a dynamic, member driven organization made up of many of the aviation education industry's leaders. SAFE is also an authorized provider of Cessna's "Safety Stand Down" Flight Instructor Refresher Course.
