Sporty’s takes delivery of 2012 Sweepstakes airplane

By Janice Wood · August 17, 2011 ·

Sporty’s Sweepstakes airplane for 2012 is a Cessna Skycatcher — but this one is just a little more special. That’s because Sporty’s Sweepstakes Skycatcher is serial #100.

“We are thrilled that Cessna reserved this milestone Skycatcher for Sporty’s Sweepstakes,” says Sporty’s President & CEO Michael Wolf. “It’s such a fun and popular airplane — in fact, Sporty’s owns another Skycatcher as part of our training fleet.”

Cessna Skycatcher The Sweepstakes Skycatcher will be awarded on Saturday, May 19, 2012, as part of the festivities of Sporty’s annual fly-in. Any purchase from Sporty’s Pilot Shop qualifies a customer for a chance to win this airplane.

“This Skycatcher will come fully loaded with a dual-screen Garmin G300 avionics package, including XM weather,” adds Wolf. “It will be the pride and joy of any pilot to own and fly.”

Sporty’s originated its Sweepstakes Airplane nearly 30 years ago, and in that time has made the dreams of lucky customers come true by awarding 34 brand-new airplanes. For more information on Sporty’s Skycatcher Sweepstakes: Sportys.com/Sweepstakes
