GAF Nomad Walkaround Gallery

GAF N22B Nomad VH-ATO Moorabbin 2008

I spotted VH-ATO at Moorabbin one day and organised this Nomad walkaround. The Nomad has always been one of my favorite aircraft. I remember my dad, who worked in the Department of Transport, brought home a Nomad sales brochure one day. I think it was the first time I saw a cutaway and I was hooked! The Nomad story itself is a sad one. It held huge promise but the parents neglected it and it died a lonely death. Only 172 ended up being built when the tally should have been in the hundreds. Ah well ... Now we have the GA Airvan! I believe Gippsland Aeronautics have picked up the Nomad certification.
