Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, will provide the aircraft. ‘We’re honored that CAP continues to choose Cessna aircraft,’ said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Missions Sales. The new aircraft are scheduled for delivery throughout 2026 and will strengthen CAP’s ability to respond quickly and train effectively in critical moments.
