Citation Jet Pilots Group Recognizes Arnold Palmer and Russ Meyer
These two storied aviators have each accumulated 8,000 flight hours each at controls of Cessna jets.

In a brief ceremony held before the Opening General Session at NBAA 2014 on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla., the Citation Jet Pilots Association (CJP) recognized renowned golfer and pilot Arnold Palmer, and Cessna chairman emeritus Russ Meyer, with special pins in recognition of the 8,000 hours that each has spent at the controls of Citation jets. “These are two extraordinary Cessna jet pilots and two people who have given as much to this industry as any two people, anywhere,” noted NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen before the presentation. Meyer was also the inaugural inductee to CJP’s Hall of Honor in 2012, and Palmer was inducted to the hall last month.
