Employees at one of GA’s largest airplane manufacturers recently put their collective might together for a good cause, raising $25,000 in a fundraising effort benefiting the Veterans Airlift Command, a non-profit that transports injured veterans and their families with the help of volunteer pilots and aircraft owners.

Cessna made the donation on behalf of its employees last week at Sun ‘n Fun, where the company was also showcasing its Citation Mustang known as American Patriot, an aircraft specifically designated to fly missions for the VAC.
