This Week’s Question |Previous Week’s Answers

PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing will soon have new owners, and last week we asked AVweb readers to cast their predictions as to who would walk away with the company’s assets.

Cessna is the leading contender, of course, and nearly 3/4 of AVweb readers have the company pegged as Columbia’s new owners.  Very few few of you expected Cirrus to come out on top of the bidding – fewer than the 15% of respondents who predicted that a third party will swoop in and claim Columbia later on.
