At this year’s Cessna Jet Pilots (CJP) Annual Conference, in Colorado Springs, CO, team Tamarack once again brought innovation to the spotlight—this time through an exclusive auction that awarded one lucky jet owner a transformational upgrade. The prize? A full Active Winglet installation, courtesy of Tamarack’s ongoing commitment to safety, sustainability, and performance in the CJ community.
The winner, Mr. Mark Huffstutler, is now the proud owner of a beautifully enhanced Cessna CJ, freshly outfitted with Tamarack’s signature Active Winglets. Beyond the sleek, aerodynamic profile, the benefits are immediate and measurable—starting with enhanced range and fuel efficiency. Climb performance to FL410 is dramatically improved, with no more step climbs—even when flying heavy. Pilots also report a noticeably more stable approach, using up to 1,000 feet less runway on landing.
But the advantages don’t stop there; Active Winglets reduce turbulence by up to 25%, giving passengers and crew a smoother, more comfortable ride. And thanks to increased fuel efficiency, Huffstutler’s CJ now boasts an additional 400 pounds of Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW), effectively boosting the aircraft’s payload capacity.

In a market where curb appeal can influence resale value, the sleek lines of Tamarack’s Winglets add undeniable aesthetic value. As Huffstutler put it, “They’re the only thing that could make a Legacy CJ even sexier.”
Perhaps more importantly, this installation symbolizes the deep and growing connection between Tamarack Aerospace and the CJP community. As a Platinum Partner, Tamarack shares CJP’s commitment to integrity, education, and the future of aviation. Both organizations are actively working to elevate safety standards, promote continuing education for pilots, and even reduce insurance costs through collaborative efforts and shared best practices.
Tamarack also supports CJP’s “Safe to Land” initiative, a powerful program that focuses on enhancing situational awareness and reducing runway incidents—saving lives in the process.
Whether it’s sponsoring the next generation of pilots or pioneering new aerodynamic technologies, Tamarack and CJP are united by a shared vision: to ensure that every flight is not just more efficient, but more enjoyable and more meaningful. For jet owners like Huffstutler, it’s more than just an upgrade—it’s a new era of flight.
