MUSTANG REACHES 400 AIRCRAFT

CESSNA’S ENTRY-level Citation Mustang reached a new landmark this week when the 400th production model rolled off the assembly line at its Independence, Kansas, facility.
This was accomplished in a little more than five years since the Mustang's first delivery in November 2006.
The Mustang's most common use is corporate business or personal travel. Its second most common use is air taxi service. In growing popularity, the Mustang is also being used for special missions as medical air transport and as an airline flight training tool.
The worldwide fleet of Mustangs is averaging 480 hours, with 45 Mustangs having accumulated more than 1000 hours each. High time Mustangs are 1 600 hours (typical operation) and 2 200 hours (fleet operation).
The Citation Mustang is the world's first fully certified entry-level business jet. The programme was announced at the 2002 National Business Aviation Association convention and the aircraft made its first flight in April 2005, received FAA type certificate in September 2006 and celebrated its first delivery in November 2006
