|
|
I read an interview from Cessna PR (I think) person who stated that only 70 162's are expected to be built in 2009, with a gradual increase in production over time to 700 per year. This says to me that I won't be seeing my Skycatcher (I plunked down 5 grand in August) for SEVERAL years. Anyone know anymore about scheduled rollout?

Here's a link to the Van Bortel site with scheduled delivery dates -- looks like some of us who pre-ordered will be waiting until 2011 at best:

According to the Wichita Eagle http://www.kansas.com/107/story/239624.html:
Quote: First flight of the aircraft is expected in the first half of 2008 with deliveries slated to begin in the second half of 2009.
The company plans to deliver 50 aircraft in 2009. At full production rates, expected by 2011, Cessna plans to deliver about 700 planes a year.

| I put my deposit down sometime on Oct of 07. I have asked, but Cessna is not making available to me what # I am in line. Seems strange to me, because it was my understanding that the first 1000 were at a lower price than the rest. I see someone says there in the 200's, how do I know where I am??? |

| I don't have an exact number either. 200 is just what my CSTAR is estimating... |
