David Miller, director of Safety Education at CJP (Citation Jet Pilots), is on a mission to share the stories of some incredible Cessna Citation pilots and owners. Following his discussion with Larry King, a Citation M2 owner who flew around the world, he spent time in the cockpit with Ron Draper, president & CEO of Textron Aviation.

Prior to joining Textron, Draper served as a Captain in the United States Army as a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter pilot and company commander. He is a fixed-wing multi-engine commercial-rated pilot and enjoys flying a broad range of Textron Aviation aircraft. Most recently, Draper received his second in command (SIC) qualification in the 525 series of Citation jets.
