Phil,


I'm sorry, but SkyCatcher?? I think they should have just stuck with
Cessna 162 and left it at that.


You seem to forget that the other Cessnas all have silly names, too.

No, I knew that. But in silliness, this one goes to eleven. It
sounds like a name an eight year old would pick for the airplane he
just made out of scrap wood.


And if it gets (or more importantly keeps...) that eight year old
dreaming of flight and ultimately leads to him/her getting his/her
certificate, what's the problem?
