LAKELAND, Fla. - Cessna announced at the Sun ’n Fun International Fly-In and Expo that it has signed a long-term agreement with The Ohio State University’s Flight Education program. Initially, the agreement includes an order for five Cessna Skyhawk 172 trainersand support for aircraft delivered under the contract. First deliveries begin in May, with the agreement running through 2022.
The new Skyhawks will augment Ohio State’s current training fleet that includes Cessna 152s, 172s and 310s, among others.
The Ohio State University traces its aviation roots to 1917 when the United States War Department established Schools of Military Aeronautics at six universities, including Ohio State. Through the years, a number of government-run flight schools were set up on campus before the Board of Trustees established the School of Aviation in 1942. Today, the Flight Education program is operated for the College of Engineering by The Ohio State University Airport.
