Textron Aviation announced on April 2, 2025, the tenth anniversary of its Top Hawk program, designed to provide students with access to the Cessna Skyhawk, the world’s most popular trainer aircraft. This milestone coincides with the 70th anniversary of the iconic aircraft.
The 2025 participants include United Flight Systems, Lunken Flight Training Center, Flex Air, and VNE Aviation, which is the program’s first recipient in the U.K. Since its launch in 2015, Textron Aviation has placed nearly 50 Cessna Skyhawks with participating organizations globally.
