(NYSE: TXT) company, and FlightSafety International have entered into a letter of intent to form a joint venture to provide the industry-leading training solution for Textron Aviation‘s broad product line of business and general aviation aircraft.

We also want to recognize Bruce Whitman's significant contributions. He was instrumental in the initial planning and actively participated in the development of this important agreement.
