Cessna looking good at No. 1

Cessna Aircraft Co. is now Wichita’s largest employer, so it was good news last week that the aviation company enjoyed strong sales and orders during the second quarter of 2005, with plans to deliver more than 1,000 aircraft this year. Cessna is stepping up to No. 1 as a community leader as well, with chairman emeritus Russ Meyer leading an $8 million effort to build a new Boys & Girls Club in northeast Wichita and the Cessna Foundation recently giving $250,000 to the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. Cessna’s leadership is looking good — for it and for Wichita.
