If you happen to drive by Yingling Aviation at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, you may notice the 25 or so Columbia aircraft parked there.
Their owners are in Wichita for the first Cessna-organized fly-in of Columbia 350/400 aircraft. Cessna bought the assets of bankrupt Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing Corp. last year.
Yesterday’s turbulent weather kept some away. But those whoe made it are at Cessna today and will leave Saturday to tour Cessna’s Independence plant.
