ICON’s New Flying Boat

Once in a while a new company or a new products attracts our attention. ICON Aircraft is such a company. They not only made it to the simFlight.com pages before, they were also featured on Discovery Channel. Just to show Discovery is in good company. ICON is making a little flying boat in the sports plane catagory and it really looks like a great and feasible bit of equipment. Check out their website with the latest news on the test flights here!

I saw this on Fox News and was impressed. Thanks for the link to the website. Just $5000 down. Maybe this is why Microsoft decided to ditch Aces and FS. Now, many of us will be able to fly the real thing!
