I see on AvWeb that Cessna is, at least, in talks to buy some or all
of Columbia Aircraft. Otherwise Columbia is filing for Chapter 11
bankruptcy. (Is that round #2 of Chap. 11?) Apparently Cessna will
accept product liability for the aircraft built so far and some of
Columbia's debt.

I wonder what that will do to the Next Generation Cessna? Why would
Cessna need the Columbia series if they were going to make a "Cirrus
Killer" anyway?

To provide instant experience with composites for light airplanes,
maybe? And maybe manufacturing space that costs less than building new.
