Cessna is always delayed.
Abu Dhabi Started in July.
The first 300 is beginning acceptance next week.
Long range a/c are still being evaluated.

On a different note, I did hear the X's are slightly delayed for delivery. That should be resolved soon I would imagine - Cessna would not want to lose that deal. Also, they are probably very busy starting up their international Abu Dhabi base which according to the articles, is supposed to open up in the next few months. Add to that, the fact they are slated to take delivery of their CL300 fleet 3rd Qtr AND evaluating long range aircraft for their international expansion plans. Seems like a bunch of stuff going on at one time which I suspect keeps them busy. Hopefully a XO pilot can chime in.

Is (are) the type(s) of "long range" aircraft being evaluated still being kept under wraps?

We know what to expect, maybe. Answer for sure in less than 6 months. Thats all I'm saying, I'm a "F-N-G" in training.
