Walu, nostalgia aside, the GAF Nomad it was canned for a reason.

As a said before, why build a slow, stol aircraft in a country 2000 x 2000 nm wide, with a 1000m strip every 100 nm. If it is for export purposes, Australia now imports beef, grain and everything else.

Complete Nomads littered Australian tarmacs for years, and were sold for scrap in the end. A shame but true.
