Float plane rumour somehow devolves into high speed rail slanging match. Ya gotta luv the Aussie forums for spirited thread drift.
So, back to the hilarious idea of a floatplane service… With Canberra sloshing around in subsidy cash, I’d be inclined to propose restarting the Nomad production line, finding a test pilot silly enough to have a crack at certifying an N-24 on floats and just run with the torrent of subsidies this proposal would deliver.
