Twenty-one Civil Air Patrol cadets from throughout the country interested in a career in aviation are spending a week in Independence, Kan., at Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. company. Cessna's Independence facility manufactures Cessna's propeller aircraft - the 172 Skyhawk, 182 Skylane and 206 Stationair - and the Citation Mustang business jet. The cadets' week started Sunday and will continue through Friday. "Cadets receive hands-on experience shadowing Cessna employees and obtain tangible visuals of the aircraft production process," said Cessna Aircraft Training Supervisor Mike Rainey. "Each cadet will also have the opportunity to fly along as an observer on a training flight in one of our new Garmin G1000-equipped propeller airplanes."
This is the second year for the program. Each cadet, ages 14-21, was selected to attend the limited-space program based on his or her application. "The students from last year valued the inside look they got at Cessna and the aviation industry," Rainey said. "In fact, by the end of their week, most said they wanted to work for Cessna someday."
