Cessna CEO Jack Pelton's wife Rose took delivery of the first production SkyCatcher this past friday at the Yingling assembly facility. This airplane has had some rough breaks so it's nice to see if finally break through into production. Interestingly enough, Rose Pelton has always had the first production SkyCatcher promised to her, so I'm sure her husband will be glad to finally be able to hand over the keys.

As we noted in our Airventure coverage, the Skycatcher and Cessna booths were far and away some of the most popular spots on Aeroshell square. Hopefully now that some of these customers can finally take delivery we'll begin to see interest in the sport pilot rating take off!
