How many lakes are float planes allowed to land on? I would think the FAA would have something to say about it. Just wondering.

The seaplane rating is one of the most fun things to do as a GA pilot. Don't know why, it just is...

Cool concept. I wonder if they will get enough buyers to actually put it into production? From the website:
"OFFERING DESCRIPTION This Deposit Agreement outlines the deposit terms for a production aircraft of ICON Aircraft, Inc. Aircraft production is scheduled planned to begin in 2012. Positions will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. This Deposit Agreement is subject to the following terms: Aircraft: ICON A5 (Standard Equipment – see Exhibit A) Estimated Price: $139,000 + CPI Deposit Amount: $5,000 Refundable: Yes, less a $500 processing fee Transferable: No" I just don't see a huge market for an expensive jet ski with wings.

Excellent toy to have... just because it is.
