Living The ICON Life

What can you do in the ICON A5?
Well, pretty much anything. This is what the ICON Life looks like. The ICON A5 is here and ready for delivery. ICON is taking orders and shipping its aircraft to owners.
Maybe you’ve never heard of ICON or the A5. In short, the A5 is an amphibious light sport aircraft (S-LSA). It’s one of the first personal aircraft that can take you almost anywhere, be it a luxury destination, remote island, or grass strip in the backcountry. The A5 also has an optional trailer and foldable wings that allows you to tow it behind your car. You can even pull the plane up and park it at your backyard dock or local marina.
The ICON A5 is a land-based plane and a seaplane with the versatility to function as a boat but also the flexibility to take off and head back to the skies.
At ICON, we set out to create a sport airplane that redefines flying, a plane that is extremely safe and easy to fly, but also enables you to unlock adventures typically inaccessible by traditional aircraft. We hope our latest video answers the question as to whether or not the ICON A5 life is right for you.

It makes sense, because to store in a hangar could be expensive overtime but if you store home in your garage you save money and also you wouldn't have anywhere to really take off. It's like people owning boat/ jet skis and who dont live near the beach.

Also, there are a couple huge lakes near the mountain, and so I landed the Icon on the one which is on the north side. After the landing I was just floating while enjoying a JAW DROPPING view of Mt. St. Helens from that lake!! I was blown away by that experience. I can't believe how great everything looked and that It was even possible to do that!!!!!!

How did they fly so close to the Statue of Liberty. F22s probably called in.
ImAustinConway focal length and a lot of permission to film near the area.
It's called filming permits.
Over a congested area 2000 ft clearance horizontally from the tallest structure is required I’m pretty sure New York is congested
Nope @ all of you guys. On the Hudson River there’s something called the “Hudson River corridor exclusion” which is basically airspace over the Hudson. Aircraft are cleared to be at that altitude (below 1,300ft I believe). For the Statue of Liberty, you’re allowed to do orbite and descend down to 500ft. What you can also do if you ask is the Central Park transition to the east river. It’s pretty self explanatory but it means that you can cross over Central Park to go down the east river. Hope that helped.
ImAustinConway yeah these are stupid people who think that having a lot of money makes them the smartest people on earth lol people let’s take this as a lesson. Just because you have money does not mean you are now the great Albert Einstein! Would of been good if the Air Force would of been call and shot them down for getting so close to the Statue of Liberty.... that would of end their stupid little flying toy.
