Russ Meyer, Legendary Former Cessna Chairman, Dies at 91
Russ Meyer, the influential former chairman and CEO of Cessna Aircraft Company, has passed away at the age of 91. Meyer took leadership of a struggling Cessna in 1975 and is widely credited with its revitalization over his nearly 30-year tenure. He was a pivotal figure in the passage of the General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994 (GARA). This landmark legislation revived the production of single-engine piston aircraft, including the iconic Cessna 172.
