    Let's use this thread to share fun adventures flying the Icon, for pictures that don't necessarily need a thread on their own.

    From March 2017, Icon transition training and beaching a rented Icon on the island outside my St Pete house.

    Fun story when I bought my first Icon in September 2019, I noticed that most Icon tail numbers ended in BA. I couldn't figure out the connection to Icon (for example the default tail number on Cirrus is SRxx after SR22 model), so I asked the sales guy why and he said it stood for Bad Ass. Nice!

    Luckily my friend Shawn at https://short-n-numbers.com had N1BA available, so I grabbed that and customized the Founders Edition plaque to match!

    One of my local beaches on the James River at Jamestown Island, VA. 425 years ago, in the background Captain John Smith anchored his fleet of three ships to found the first permanent English speaking colony in the New World. The story, the beach, and the ICON never get old!Name:  IMG_0952.jpg

    Amazing photo! Is your ICON based in Puerto Rico, or did you fly it there? And are you anchored, moored or beached in this photo? If anchored, what anchor do you use to secure your A5?

    Its actually my friend's Icon and based in Puerto Rico.
    In the photo, its anchored.
    I used this anchor, which is about 4lbs.

    I keep a Fortress 2.5 pounder, which nicely comes in a protective nylon bag. I have found these (in boats up to 40') to be the lightest anchors available for their holding power - the 5' of chain at the front weight much more than the anchor (and you should always have at least a couple feet of chain to start). https://www.amazon.com/WORLDS-BEST-A...5547566&sr=8-1
