Go Nomad!

I hope this project really succeeds as this is an excellent aircraft in need of a second life where it's capabilities can be exploited more fully. I'd like to see it on floats and giving the Twin Otter and Caravan a run for their money.
Australia should be producing products at the highest levels of aviation standards and the Nomad is fine example.
I've heard from Gippsland about their plans but it's not final yet by any means.
If I had a choice, I'd rather operate the Nomad than the Harbin Y12 or the new Twin Otter! Economics and design improvements will give the Nomad a serious advantage. It's a STOL aircraft and so shouldn't be compared with the plethora of light single turbines out there. Different horse for different courses after all!
