LAKELAND, Fla. – Cessna Aircraft Company announced today at the Sun ’n Fun Fly-In in Lakeland, Fla., it has delivered the 300th Citation Mustang at its assembly facility in Independence, Kan., less than three years after the first Mustang delivery.

Coming in at just over $3 million (2010 delivery), the Mustang features Garmin avionics, Pratt & Whitney Canada engines and boasts a maximum 1,200-nautical mile range.
