O2b, If you would rather believe that Cessna chose to honor a long-gone sailor, rather than a current aviation client, that's your prerogative, but I'll go with the info closer to the source. In the interest of accurate posting, I'll double-check with my husband when he calls home tomorrow. He's in Columbus for joint meetings...
NJW et all,
I tend to be favorably bais toward NJW becasue I like the product that she is selling but this is a quote from Jack J. Pelton, chairman, president, and CEO of Cessna;
"In naming this new model, we looked for a word that embodies the spirit of our company and the performance of this airplane," Pelton said. "With an adventurous and visionary attitude, explorer Christopher Columbus is globally recognized as one of the first to cross the Atlantic Ocean. That inspired us as we worked toward our design goal. The Columbus opens up so many non-stop transcontinental routes: Munich to New York, London to Dubai, Sydney to Singapore, Sao Paulo to Miami, and many other trips."
Netjets employees get a little excited about our company sometimes (as do most posters on this forum regardless of company) but I have never seen anything other than posts from other pilots claiming that this aircraft was named for Netjets Aviation.

NJW even if true it is silly to talk about after netjets cancelled those orders and all others which led to massive layoffs at cessna. By the way Colombus was not just a sailor. Check your kids history books.

I advocate financial security and stability for frac families that comes with respect and a professional compensation package for frac pilots. I don't consider that selling but I'll compromise on persuading... but this is a quote from Jack J. Pelton, chairman, president, and CEO of Cessna;

This is a good example of insider information. I'm sure other industries have their share, as well.

... I used to live in Columbus...it does not make me an authority about how Cessna names their airplanes.
