Cessna takes 30 aircraft orders at last week’s Sun ‘n Fun

Cessna Aircraft said today it took orders for 30 aircraft at last week’s Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In and Expo in Lakeland, Fla.

“The opening days of Sun ‘n Fun were very positive, and while the storm on Thursday interrupted that mood somewhat, the exhibitors and the crowds bounced back to finish the show strong,” Mark Paolucci, Cessna’s senior vice president of Sales and Marketing, said in a statement.

Cessna took orders for 13 of the new Corvalis TTX and 13 orders for high-wing, single-engine piston aircraft. That includes five 172 Skyhawks for the University of North Dakota’s training program.
