Sydney and the Seaplane

Postby Charl » Sat Nov 22, 2025 1:57 pm

Driven by irresistible Black Friday marketing from ORBX (Less 40% what’s not to like?) I found ownership of some Sydney landmarks, Sydney Floatplanes, and Norfolk Island.
Normally my go-to floatplane is this one:

But given the demographic of that part of OZ, I figured a half million $ substitute for a jetski might be more fitting for a leisurely spin around Sydney.

It’s quite fun, the Icon, with an effortless user interface.
And surprisingly, Norfolk Island would be quite within reach.
3 or 4 hours - perhaps another time.

Being a default plane it isn’t fully featured though.
A pity, I would ‘ve liked to fold its wings and trailer it home behind my purple Maloo :lol:

A purple Maloo, the ultimate Aussie tradie status symbol.

I like floatplanes and flying boats. I just remembered the Nardi 333, which should be flown again.
