Icon A5 Serves Well As A Rescue Plane For Ditched Mooney in Florida

Soumis
 
When Genesah Duffy, Chief Pilot and Senior Director of Flight Operations for Icon Aircraft, took off for a return-to-service shakedown flight in one of the company’s A5 amphibians, she wasn’t expecting it to turn into an air-sea-rescue mission. The Mooney was later reported to be on a flight from Lakeland Linder International Airport when it developed an engine problem. (www.avweb.com) Plus d'info...

She sounds extremely competent and down to earth. Just the pilot I would want flying my planes.

I'd like to rescue someone in my own Icon A5. The only thing I'm missing is the hundreds of thousands of dollars. :)

Job well done, Ms. Duffy's swift actions probably saved the man's life.

I actually remember thinking after watching some of the early icon promo and demo flight videos that it would be a great aircraft for inland water rescue situations... canada, pacific northwest, minnesota, great lakes, etc. Coast guard & such may want to consider it after this. You could at least get to the victims quickly, easily and get into tight spots.
