Finally I can cancel my hanger rental and just use the lake.

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.

Icon A5, described as 'sports car with wings,' has 2nd fatal crash this year

Well, sure, people crash their sports cars so this is the same, no? ;)

The same indeed - many high end sports cars, Hellcats, crotch rockets, etc. are totaled not long after leaving the lot.

Just another option for coping with midlife... call Bosley, do TRT, get an A5 or a Corvette or a Harley, maybe try to "save" a stripper... I'm 52 in April and I do not like my options.

If motorcycles and fast cars indicate mid-life crisis, I've been suffering for the last 30 years...

I've driven the Nurburgring so many times in video games, it'd be a blast to drive it in a real car. Haven't convinced my wife to make the detour to Nürburg while in Germany yet, though.
