I was watching this company for a while and requested info when it was first announced. It was supposed to cost $159k, by the time they started delivering at any kind of quantity the price was $389k. I went to visit them at their factory/HQ in Vacaville. This company is dying.
It's sad cuz I really like these planes but unfortunately they are starting to price themselves out of the market those people that are looking for those style planes it was a really cool idea to have a plane that could also be towed behind a car land on a Runway land on water they're very cool concept I hope they can get the company together and make something of it
It's funny that these are built in Vacaville couple hours from where I live but when I've seen most of the advertisements and stuff for these planes are flying around Florida or the Bahamas you think they might want to change their base of operation
This video was first rate. I fly a HondaJet Elite S and make flying videos. I was impressed with your work. What source did you use for your music? I am going to get a demo on the Icon soon. I saw it at Oshkosh. Thanks, Don
I used to work for icon in Vacaville CA when they were still being made there. I was part of the first big company layoff. Still such a cool aircraft idea. Sucks things were tan so poorly.
Overpriced and barely useful. They will be out of business and a distant memory. Only for people with more money than sense. Can buy 2 brand new light sport aircraft for the ridiculous price of this product.
@vigov2012 I could buy a seamax amphibious for 190,000 and I could buy a number of light sport aircraft, like the aeropilot L600 legend for 160,000 fully loaded or the Vashon ranger for 140,000. Too many to list here. The icon is way too expensive and has too many other seaplane that match its design and sell for half. The ICON is almost 400,000.
Beautiful Footage!!
Cool video -- thanks for sharing.
So cool, just so cool!
ICON A5= adventure machine 👍
Icon A5 is the best, dream to own it one day 😊
this was an absolutely addictively awesome video... loved the camera work... that has got to be such a rush!!!
Epic adventure! Nice job with the editing, loved the music and variety of camera angles. You capture the ICON A5 experience beautifully.
O my Word! That's a EPIC plane! Loved the video completely! That was sick 😎👌🤘🏼
Cool thumbnail 🗿
Awesome video 🤗
So jealous and envious! Looks like you had a great day of flying! Nice video!
It would be so nice to go on a trip like this
This Icon 5 may have made me more ambitious as a boy !
New to this channel and already love it!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Saw this flight on ADSB-exchange! Very very cool.
Love the video! Steve's trying to talk me into checking out an Icon, but I'm not sold yet... Getting closer, though.
good time what a ride. did not mean to watch the whole thing, my favorite things to do. boat and fly.
Fun day of flying for sure!

I worked there. Was part of the first big company lay off.
@@Shortyellowbuss01 sorry to hear that. The plane had great potential, but with the price nearly tripling, I’m surprised that any get sold at all

I hate it when TH-camrs are putting this "feel good" music and destroy a otherwise good video clip.
MLB mascot…
The music ruined the video.
Whether we are in a dining room, sports bar, golf course, or cockpit, YOUR music need not be heard by ME! That noise ruined the vid.
+1
Needs 4 seats for that price.
Your intro music is way too loud and obnoxious!
thanks for you feedback!

Hello. Tell me what 2 aircraft can be bought at the price of A5?
