March 5: Cessna delivered the 9,000th single-engine piston aircraft produced at its manufacturing plant in Independence, Kansas, USA.

The aircraft, a 182T Skylane, was handed over to its new owner during a small ceremony at the factory. The first Independence-produced single-engine piston aircraft came off the line in November 1996 – in all, Cessna has produced more than 154,000 single-engine aircraft since its inception in 1927.
