purple and gold. An enthusiastic
crowd of reporters first encircled
SkyCatcher in the Eagle Hangar at the
EAA AirVenture Museum, July 22,
the day before its unveiling on the
EAA convention grounds. It was a
full-scale mock-up presented for the
media to experience, photograph and
sit in. Cessna reworked its initial concept
for its light sport aircraft (LSA)
and came up with something pretty
special. SkyCatcher is an exciting
light sport aircraft with a surprisingly
big bang for the buck! The buyer gets
a lot of aircraft for the introductory
price tag of $109,500.
