Cessna's first 162 SkyCatcher arrives from China

Cessna Aircraft's first 162 SkyCatcher arrived in Wichita, Kan., this week from China. The light sport aircraft was manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Industry in China, but will be assembled in the U.S. with a few design modifications. The aircraft manufacturer introduced the SkyCatcher in 2007 at a competitive price of $111,500 to encourage more people to fly.
