Cessna wins Columbia Bid

Cessna Aircraft will acquire the assets of Columbia Aircraft of Bend,
Ore., following a successful bid for the firm in U.S. bankruptcy court
on Nov. 27. Cessna says it wants to "broaden its single-engine product
portfolio." Cessna's winning bid was $26.4 million, but the
transaction will not be completed until Dec. 4. Cessna officials said
Columbia will take on the Cessna name, and the dual-turbocharged
310-horsepower Columbia 400 will become the Cessna 400, while the
normally aspirated 310-hp Columbia 350 will be renamed the Cessna 350.
Both use the Continental 550 engine.





Holy crap, it's already in Wickepedia.

They haven't made anything that would interest me since the T-50 anyway...

I wonder if someone at Cessna made the changes or a fanboi? I would think
Cessna would put Lycoming engines in the ex-Columbias before long.
