    It's really all about the free hat. It was like payday when I finally scored my TBM hat.

    I’ve been working for Cessna(Textron) for going on 4 yrs as transportation bringing aircraft parts to each of the assembly plants and thought I’d seen a lot but this video made me ever so proud to see what I am a part of with the final beautiful product!!! Love the video

    You could not get a ride from the terminal to Cessna. Had to haggle to get a "free ball cap". I will be forwarding this on. Very embarrassing. I work there and take great pride in our people and our planes. Sorry we failed you on two issues. Senior management will be notified. My family and I thank you for choosing Cessna and Textron Aviation. It's not just suits that watch these videos. I and my Cessna team members thank you for the kind comments regarding your decision to choose us. Thank you! MC

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 років тому +29

      Don't be embarrassed Mikey. Yes, the transportation thing was a minor inconvenience. They were going to give me a hat but, we got really busy and forgot. I reminded him and he grabbed one straight away and a great Yeti mug which my wife won't give back. I've been dealing with Cessna for twenty years and think they have a great product and exceptional team.

    Great video! I wish that you had included the take off as well. Nice that they threw in the free hat too. I bet that it did not take too much persuasion, since you just bought a brand new jet plane. Even the colors of the plane are beautiful. Have fun with it!

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 років тому

      I did not pay attention the first time I saw the video.... thought you bought the jet for yourself. But I see what you mean, they treated you like royalty when you picked up the jet. I have to say again, I love the paint job on the plane. It's really a work of art! Safe flying!

    Nice getting to see how the other half lives! I once got to go with a couple that Cessna was wining and dining to get them to buy a 10! They had previously bought two CJ2s. I went with them for the full thing, even got to take control of the 10 for a few minutes. What an amazing aircraft. They were never going to buy it. They are from The Netherlands and most of their flying is within Europe. 10 is just too much aircraft, but it was great to see how it all happens on that side of the fence!

    We took our boss, who was considering a Boeing out to Seattle, and not only did I get stick time in a 747, I got a Boeing leather jacket out of the deal, and he didn't even buy one, ha, ha, ha, on Boeing.
    Always enjoy your videos. Almost makes me want to come out of retirement and start flying again. Then I come to my senses!!!!
    HAPPY FLYING

    Flexible, I've flown scheduled and charter. I can't tell you which I liked the best. Scheduled is great because you know your days off. Part 91 and 135 is great because you get to see places airlines don't go. It would seem your company knows the importance of assuring you have a good home life. From what you've shown me, I think overall you have a great team, and employer. Keep having fun.

      Hi Greg. I'd like to do more than that. I'd like to get my hands on one of those bad boys and take it out for a spin. Unfortunately, I've never had an opportunity to fly a Lear. I've never even sat in one.

      Well next time you pick up a Cessna in Wichita, just look me up and I will give you a tour of the factory and let you check out a Learjet. I work in the flight/delivery as a flight Inspector and have access to all of the aircraft.

      Thanks Greg. I appreciate that. I would love to do that. Next time I'm in Wichita for a trip or FlightSafety or heading to the east side of the airport. I'll check with you.
