Cessna Offers Mustang “High Sierra” Package, Mentor Pilots
Cessna is showing a Citation Mustang at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this week with their latest upgrade package, called “High Sierra.” The interior features premium leather, hand-woven carpeting, and high-quality sidewalls and cabinetry. “The option package also includes synthetic vision for the G1000, two years or 400 hours of turnkey maintenance, and the Jepp-view chart upgrade,” Cessna’s Jim Perry told AVweb at the show. “Plus locking fuel caps, which you might not think is a big deal, but it’s a very popular option,” he said. The package comes for $75,000 on top of the $3 million Mustang base price. Cessna also rolled out a new program to provide mentor pilots for new owners.

The "Ease into the Saddle" program will make Cessna corporate pilots available to new Mustang owners transitioning from a single-engine or turboprop airplane. They will act as coaches to help familiarize buyers with Mustang operations and procedures before they go off to FlightSafety for intensive training. Cessna has delivered more than 300 Mustangs to owners around the world.
