Everybody needs a lift every now and then, which is why Textron Aviation is thrilled to organize the 2026 Special Olympics Airlift in collaboration with our customers and the Special Olympics USA Games.
Since 1987, Textron Aviation customers have generously donated the use of their aircraft to transport more than 10,000 Special Olympics athletes to the USA Games. Join Ron Draper, president & CEO, Textron Aviation, as he invites you to share in the incredible impact of this event.
Thanks to the generosity of Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker owners and operators, the Airlift helps athletes overcome financial and logistical barriers to participate in the Games. As the world’s largest peacetime airlift, the event truly highlights the power of aviation collaboration and the spirit of community.
Sign up as a Dove and join us in making this a life-changing experience for these incredible athletes!
