Does anyone know why planes are landing on this lake?


Nice troll. Got everyone gabbing.

Since you've tossed out various comments about "right of way" and pilots and
airplanes, yet have managed to post nothing that indicates any knowledge on
your part, I'll give you a little something to chew on:

While approaching to land, the seaplane is a plane, and is subject to the
FARs and a myriad of other Federal statutes pertaining to aircraft, as are
you and all the other vessels nearby who may have an impact on the
operation. Recklessly interfering with aircraft operation may get you
points among your buds at your marina, but not with the USDoJ.

When the seaplane has landed, it is a boat, and is subject to the Navigation
Rules -- USCG Comdtinst M16672.2 -- as are all the other vessels on Winni,
including yours. Don't waste you time browsing the book [you may find it
gets complicated], just go directly to Rule 2. It covers all the manly bs
pumpers who think they know what they can get away with, and why.
