Overview

The GAF Nomad is a utility aircraft produced by the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) of Australia in Melbourne.

The twin-turboprop, high-wing aircraft has a retractable gear and came in two variants: the initial N22, followed by the stretched N24.

Supported by the Australian Government, design work began in the mid-1960s, and it made its maiden flight on 23 July 1971.
Despite some export sales and commercial operations, sales were not sufficient and production stopped in 1985.
