The poster who claimed that a "seaplane" turned over on Lake
Winnipesaukee, NH, recently as a result of a boater's wake was a bit
wide of the mark.

The aircraft was actually an ultralight, whose pilot blamed the mishap
on the wind.

Bob Hirschfield, 54, of 3 Quimby Rd., Meredith, said the incident
was not a crash. "I knew I was going over so I turned the engine off,"
he said.
