Textron Aviation announced this week it will continue its Top Hawk program for 2018, providing a new Cessna Skyhawk 172 to five university programs for use in their flight training and recruiting efforts. "As the Top Hawk program enters its fourth year, we're proud to build on a program that has allowed us to support general aviation and contribute to the enhancement of student pilot training," said Doug May, Textron's vice president for piston aircraft. The new Skyhawks will go to Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro; University of Dubuque, in Iowa; Lewis University, in Romeoville, Illinois; Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in Prescott, Arizona; and California Aeronautical University, in Bakersfield.
