Cessna has a major presence here at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this week with an expanded exhibit in a new location and one-third extra space. On Monday, they issued an even dozen news releases with various updates on their products and the company, but no news conference was scheduled. The biggest news is that the SkyCatcher LSA is now in compliance with ASTM International standards and deliveries are expected to begin later this year. "This is significant not only for Cessna, but for the aviation community as a whole," said Cessna CEO Jack Pelton in a news release. "Once these airplanes enter service, they will act as a catalyst for increased pilot starts. They will significantly change the economics of ownership and operation for flight schools, aircraft renters and aircraft owners, and will benefit the entire GA community." Cessna says it has more than 1,000 orders for the SkyCatcher
