GAF N22 Nomad

John A Garrison Jr, e-mail, 04.12.2017 16:05 Hi Gents, I flew these aircraft for Air New Orleans, operating as Continental Commuter for a bit, in the late '80s. We had one N22 and 5 N24s...I liked the aircraft, especially the 22. It seemed like you could land it on a postage stamp. It was somewhat slow, however, and that little Allison had a tendency to want to make ice in the inlet on climb out, even in clear air, and it was slow. But the viz from the cockpit was great, and I felt that it would have been more at home in the outback. I liked to fly them, though...they were fun. reply

TORBJÖRN KAMPE, e-mail, 06.05.2017 17:38 It's no fun that such a good aircraft is not left. If you see how Australia looks, you're wondering Why put down such a good aircraft that is adapted to Australian Foreground. Big mistake of the Ausral state. reply

Oby., 13.04.2016 12:39 Regarding the following comment by Ron, 07.02.2014- "There was a known problem involving fatigue cracking in the rear of the fuselage. The Australian Army stopped doing the regular crack checks required and when one inevitably crashed because of a large unseen crack they looked to blame the designers.", the Australian Army did not stop doing the required inspection!! The Nomad that crashed because of the fatigue crack was never operated by the Army and was operated by the RAAF. reply

TORBJÖRN KAMPE, e-mail, 18.10.2015 22:37 it's not fun to such a good aircraft does not remain in office long. a good aircraft for the RAAF and RFDs. not fun for Australia. reply

Ron, e-mail, 07.02.2014 13:18 The crash at Avalon occurred when investigating the edges of the flight envelope. There was concern over a potential flutter problem under some flight conditions. The aircraft was put through maneuvers to see when flutter occurred. In this case it was initiated but the pilot was unable to regain control before impact. I don't know at what altitude the tests were done at - there is an official report somewhere. reply

Ron, e-mail, 07.02.2014 13:11 There was a known problem involving fatigue cracking in the rear of the fuselage. The Australian Army stopped doing the regular crack checks required and when one inevitably crashed because of a large unseen crack they looked to blame the designers. Fatigue cracks occur in most aircraft, particularly military ones. Inspection and repair /replacement processes keep them flying for decades. Carelessness, cost cutting and ignorance kills. reply

Irwin, e-mail, 04.09.2013 04:40 Hi My company operates 2 Nomads here in Malaysia....am looking for spares and anyone of you out there who might have any spares /seals or knows where I could obtain these spares from, please let me know, thanks guys.... reply

Dave Whiteman, e-mail, 16.07.2013 15:28 I flew Nomad VH-ELN as co-pilot, with Vic Walton as PIC, back in 1977 when we took it to New Zealand on a demo tour for 2 weeks. I have some images of the aircraft on my Flickr site if anyone is interested. Vic operated an N22 at Aquatic Airways at Palm Beach for a while. A great aircraft for what it was designed for. reply

Ismael E. Tan, e-mail, 22.02.2013 15:23 I am dealing with the Philippine Air Force which operates the N-22 Nomad aircraft. I am being asked to supply them needed parts for this aircraft. Where could I buy these parts? Thank you. reply

Roger Hart, e-mail, 25.10.2012 08:03 I saw a few down near Tucson being scrapped near the Davis Monthan Boneyard about 6 years ago, had to shed a tear seeing our beloved Aussie Nomad in bits so far from home, at least it was sharing space with a Viscount nose and cockpit reply

Robert Leavitt, e-mail, 15.10.2012 07:02 A number of these were broken up at the Henderson Executive Airport, near Las Vegas, Nevada, some years back. reply

Steve Bensen, e-mail, 26.04.2012 15:09 The test pilot's name was Glen Donovan - a great bloke - I think the elevator detached and he went in inverted. Bloody tragedy, one of the nicest blokes you would ever meet and a good operator. reply
