http://www.flyingmag.com/news/icon-a5-draws-emergency-crews-near-beach-communityI was out stand up paddle surfing in Malibu and saw this Icon flying around, aggressively maneuvering, low over the ocean just off the coast near to where I was, think it was Monday... It kept almost landing on the water but didn't land while it was near to where I was. Man, this plane looks like a ton of fun to fly! It seemed very agile and able to maneuver in an impressive fashion

I saw that too - but the database does lag - so it could be flying on a pink slip... One can hope...
