Textron Aviation Launches Donation Campaign and Renews Call for Volunteer Pilots for 2026 Special Olympics Airlift
Textron Aviation has launched a public donation campaign to support the 2026 Special Olympics Airlift. This major logistical effort will transport thousands of athletes and coaches to the USA Games in Minnesota. Alongside financial contributions, the company is renewing its nationwide call for owners of Cessna Citation, Beechcraft King Air, and Hawker aircraft to volunteer. These volunteers, known as "Doves," donate their aircraft, pilots, and fuel for the event. The initiative continues a long-standing partnership to provide athletes with safe and efficient transportation.
