On Thursday, June 28, the Michigan Flyers' new Skycatcher, N7029M, arrived home in Ann Arbor after a 780-mile flight from Wichita.
The Skycatcher is now home in Ann Arbor and being flown by the Michigan Flyers. As a light sport aircraft, it can operate under new, more relaxed regulations, particularly with regard to medical certification. The Skycatcher's relatively low cost and ease of use make it ideal for training a new generation of pilots.
