This morning, an/the ICON spoiled my months long record of being the only seaplane operating in the harbor. It was definitely puttting on a show with sharp nose ups and near sixty degree banks just after high speed low passes. There were multiple full stops also. Although it is a big harbor, the show was confined to the waters closest to the Queen Mary and yacht basin.<br /><br />While the Icon looks good, I think the SeaRey looks better and 'happier'.

Yep, and I believe the Icon is still without any gear, just a straight boat-plane. Last I heard they haven't figured out how to make it work within the LSA weight limits with retractable gear, too much weight in their fancy wing fold mechanism.

The Tri-Pacer driver in the next T hanger reports that, on the day the ICON was in the harbor, T. Cruise and crew were there filming a scene for 'Knight and Day'. Apparently the scene called for Cruise to be chased down the 'old Navy Brig' breakwater and make an escape by jumping into the ICON.<br />Gotta love Long Beach!<br /><br />Editor Needed and filled by wife: She suggests that I stick to airplanes and leave the celebrity reporting to her. 'Knight and Day' is in the 'can'. The recent filming was for 'The Hardy Men.'
