Показать описание
Yees!! We finally did it! This "Boat" Tour was waaay too much fun. Yes, I said Boat Tour, because as soon as this airplane hits the water it becomes a vessel. We have been looking forward to an opportunity to get on board this famous Amphibious Seaplane for a while, and here it is!! In case you don't know, Rico's next goal in life is to get his pilot's license, and flying the ICON A5 has been high on his list of dream aircraft. The most amazing thing about Light-Sport Aviation is that it only requires 20 hours of training to get your license, and the seaplane part? well, watch and see how ICON has got you covered. I can't even express how amazing the Demo flight was, you just have to see it!
Starting price for ICON A5 is $379,000+ and $404,000 fully loaded.
😜 Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments

Huge Thank you to JEN CLAYMORE, ICON AIRCRAFT & EV YACHTING for setting this up.

The pilot/ sales rep seems to be so easy to get along with, she explains things in a manner to make one who isn’t too knowledgeable feel as though your inferior. She explains with a smile, some real life experience that’s relatable to a new and interested in flying. If I met a car salesperson like her, I would definitely enjoy my experience and purchase. Great video.

Unbelievable you could keep this tucked in your yacht then do fly overs wherever you go fantastic!

Jen is a Gem :) Great representative of her company! I appreciate this presentation. While "off the beaten path" of yachts, you guys still maintain nautical consistency. Loved Rico's "techno-centric" response. So German! LOL. You two are great. Thanks once again.

This was very entertaining for me who loves both boats and airplanes. Then was Jen absolutely wonderful and would have her own Youtube channel. And as usual greetings from Sweden!👍

What a day!!! Whether it's 20 seconds or a minute... flying that aircraft is probably one of his best moments up there.

The smile on Victoria’s face when they took off from Biscayne bay says it all. Pure joy and amazement.

If my math is correct, that fuel burn is about 22-25mpg depending on wind, the same as my current commuter car (2009 Ford Escape). If this were a little cheaper, I'd be half tempted to commute to work with it (I work at reasonably calm airport). There's a small airport near my house where people have houses on the airport itself. That would be just fantastic to own a house on an airport and commute to my job at an airport.

As a certified mechanic 32 yrs and previous pilot this is so ideal of a all around aircraft. Is there going to be a turbocharged option in the works? Or a four place? You said carbon fiber on the plane, does your company then do the composite repairs if there are issues? The chute is another excellent idea for the peace of mind and safety. The range is great as well, the choice of color to be seen another well thought out idea.Hearing how well the company supports the customer is a plus. Good to see a company come together and offer what appears to be a good all around package.

That parachute & being amphibious is the main reason why I want that aircraft 😊

Wow, I am in love with this plane, amazing and cool, great ability. And I would give credit to the great pilot she made me feel safe just looking at the video.

What an awesome change of pace. The ICON is definitely something I would consider as I have VFR rating.

I’m with Rico on this kind of stuff! It’s exciting because these types of things will get more and more applications over time. You’ll be landing a mini-helicopter on the flybridge of a yacht soon, or with something like this just land and cruise up to your yacht!

Very cool plane. This is definitely 1 adventure I wish I could've joined in on! Thank you for the entertainment and taking us along Victoria and Rico 💚

Easily one of the best designed planes ever for this kind of fun flying! It’s laughable that they thaught this was originally going to sell around $120k when it ended up at $350k!

Having over 10, 000 hours in the air in both airplanes and helicopters I truly enjoyed this video as I do with all the other video's you guys do. Jen was excellent in both her flying and amount of info given. Sorry ya didn't fold the wings, I'd like to have seen that. Thanks guys.

Anyone remember when these first came out and were only $130, 000 or something like that?

I love how she knows the plane inside and out, not only flying but every question that was asked she answered so professionally with her knowledge. Makes me want one.

I got my private pilot license in 2002 but unfortunately have not flown since 2007. I miss it. That plane offers the best of both worlds, flying and boating. Thanks for the video!

Holy Cow!!! This was awesome. I'm with Rico on this "Victoria let him get one!!!!" Great video as always. This seaplane is so cool. I am really impressed on how easy it is to handle and the fact that you can get certified in a short period of time. What a great way to take a girl out on a first date and grab dinner in one of the Bahamas islands. You guys are THE BEST!! Til next time Jersey Lou
