Redbird Flight | Sep 30, 2008
2009 is now well underway, and so are FMX deliveries. In late December, we delivered the first Redbird FMX, quickly followed by two more deliveries in January. The first FMX went to Austin Academy of Aviation, a Cessna Pilot Center located at Austin Bergstrom International Airport, in Austin, TX. Equipped as a C172 glass, the FMX allows Austin Academy of Aviation to train their students to fly a G1000 before they are cleared to fly the aircraft.
