Icon A5 personal aircraft puts us one step closer to the Jetsons {Gadling}

Please be careful, and fully check your facts when writing about aviation.
A quick look at the plane website indicates that the plane is a LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT. Important distinction compared to a "Light Airplane" as referred to in the article.
As i understand the rules, its not so much the plane and its equipment, but rather the training the pilot gets that will determine if they allow flight at night or to travel to airports with a control tower.
Be careful which lake you choose to fly from. Lots of state and fed agencies regulate the operation of seaplanes. Just because you can land and takeoff on water does not mean you can do so anywhere, anytime.

Nov 26th 2008 7:26PM That was not a "Crash Landing", as stated by Scott in his opening line!
Fortunately he redeems himself with the other comments - an excellent job by the pilot.
The top 10 ways to make phone calls when you are abroad {Gadling}
Oct 31st 2008 10:05PM a good trick i've used for a long, long time to let someone know you have arrived at your destination is to pick up a payphone, ask for an operator and put a call through with reverse charges / collect call. Have the people you're calling deny the request (arranged before departure) - they now know you are safe.
total cost -$0.00
no need for wifi, sim cards, calling plans
