SkyCatcher C162<br />

by Jack Pelton, Cessna’s CEO, who explained the developmental<br />

Within 1 hour after the ribbon was cut to dedicate Cessna’s new “SkyCatcher” light sport aircraft,<br />

100 aircraft had been sold! That 100 th aircraft went to retiring Wisconsin State Trooper, Jeff Miller of<br />

Oshkosh, Wis. (L/R) Miller’s brother Greg, Miller’s son Chris, Jeff Miller, and Dana Denton of<br />

Cessna, who wrote up the sales order and accepted Miller’s deposit. Miller is taking flying lessons<br />

at Lakeshore Aviation in Manitowoc, Wis., and Western Shores Aviation in Sheboygan, Wis. Miller<br />

has been training in a Cessna 172, but says that for his type of flying, the “SkyCatcher” will be perfect!<br />
