As part of a multi-year sponsorship of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, Textron Aviation unveiled a special-edition interior and exterior design for new Cessna and Beechcraft products on Monday at NBAA-BACE. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the special-edition design will go to the organization, which is the Olympic national governing body of ski and snowboard sports in the U.S.

“They are the only team in the Olympics that are not government funded,” Textron Aviation senior v-p of customer experience Christi Tannahill told AIN. “They are privately funded. So this was a great opportunity for us to work with them.”
