Is Cessna a Flying Wild Alaska Sponsor?

[AdamZ]

So Alon and I are here watching a Flying Wild Alaska episode and Ariel is now flying a Glass 172 N172FA. a step up from the beater 150 she was training on. I said to Alon I bet that Cessna is now a sponsor. Sure enough N172FA is owned by Cessna. http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=N172FA
I wonder if its a lease, Sponsorship or just a loaner. Nice plane though.

I read elsewhere Jim Tweeto is retiring. I thought he was the COO of ERA. If he is the owner as well, maybe he is selling the company as well as retiring.

Cheers

Jim Tweto is not "the" owner but just one of several owners. This web page has an audio interview publish in April 2012 with Mike Hageland, another of the owners.
