I’ve heard some news reports that Cessna is looking at Columbia. This might make alot of sense.
Kind of off topic, but I had the opportunity recently to visit Cessna’s corporate center in Kansas. WOW, talk about nice offices and great service. Very friendly folks. The restrooms are fancier than a 5 star hotel and the food is top notch. Also got to sit in all the citation models in their showroom. Unfortunately, I walked out of there not having bought one lol.
looks like Cirrus is in the bid too. I guess they really think the two COMPETITORS fit great together. 
Take a look (if you haven’t already) at the squawk I made this morning. 8)
