“It is storied that the original relationship between Cessna and Napa Jet Center began with Clyde Cessna and one of Bridgeford’s founders, Caesar Bertagna, sitting under a peach tree sealing a business arrangement with a hand shake,” said Mark Willey, CEO, Napa Jet Center.

Napa Jet Center has been a long-time Cessna single engine dealer and remains a Cessna Pilot Center.
