Cessna's New LSA
    

Cessna's new LSA, dubbed the Cessna Skycatcher, awaits its appearance at Cessna's Saturday night party to unveil the aircraft to its dealers and pilot training centers. Cessna President and CEO Jack Pelton showed the modified design to the world's press at AirVenture Sunday morning. How much? $109,500. Photo by Brady Lane.

Thanks to the generosity of the Buehler Trust, EAA will obtain serial number 2 and 3 Skycatchers produced for use with the Young Eagles and Air Academy programs to introduce young people to flying.
