  Beechcraft Skipper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beechcraft Model 77 Skipper is a two-seat, fixed tricycle gear general aviation airplane, originally designed for flight training, and later used as well for touring and personal flying.
The Skipper, first manufactured in 1979, was Beechcraft's attempt to enter the two-place trainer market with an aircraft capable of competing with the popular Cessna 150/152 line of trainer aircraft.
The Skipper employed both a throttle quadrant and an instrument panel layout similar in design to the Sundowner, Sierra, and Duchess, with the intention of easing students' transitions to the more advanced trainers.

The Skipper had the misfortune of being introduced at the beginning of a severe downturn in general aviation aircraft production in the United States.

 Airliners.net: Beech 77 Skipper
Beech developed the Skipper as a low expense two seat trainer in response to the growing costs (mainly fuel) of pilot training in the mid 1970s.
The Tomahawk was developed in a very similar time scale to the Skipper (entering service in early 1978) and both aircraft share a T-tail, low wing and canopy style cabin configuration (with 360° all round vision and a door on each side), and the Lycoming O-235 powerplant.
Other features of the Skipper design are a NASA developed GA(W)1 high lift wing (the result of joint NASA and Beech research into high lift, supercritical aerofoils), bonded metal construction, tubular spars, and flap and aileron actuation by torque tubes rather than the more conventional cable and pulley system.

The two men were not identified, but the Beechcraft Skipper was registered to Scott D. Morton, 42, of Upton, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
When the Beechcraft's pilot was detected within the flight restriction zone about 11 a.m., two F-15 fighter jets from Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod were called in for assistance, according to Maj.

Steele said the jets intercepted the plane and made visual contact with the pilot, indicating he was "in the wrong spot," and escorted him out of the restricted flight zone.

I've read that the Tomahawk has touchy flight manners and may not be the best choice for a new pilot.
I prefer the Skipper just for the simple fact that there is more room in the cockpit.
I was told that Beech is no longer manufacturing replacement parts for the Skipper (or the Musketeer/Sierra class either).
