Water landings

Well I'm going to be doing some water work tomorrow.

Grabbing my fishing poles, my girl, and my dog and hitting up some new to me lakes in upstate NY.

Anyone have any experience with

MEACHAM?

TAYLOR POND?
44.48333N/73.8639W

SILVER LAKE?

Re: Water landings

Just looking for general reviews and opinions on em'

The seaplane directory didn't have much to say.

So it would appear there are at least two seaplanes in good ol' KPTD now!

Meacham Lake was great by the way :D

Re: Water landings

Looking good, should have know it was you. Meecham is great, I've found some awesome lakes to play on. We should go out and I can show you some of my favorites . Did some great flying this weekend down by Racquette Lake, also Alexandria Bay has some great landing.

Glad to see another seaplane it Potsdam! Unfortunately now I have amphib envy. Especially with it parked in my hangar. :lol: . You've got a few more days comanche comes back Thursday. Let me know what your schedule is maybe we can go do some landings. I'm gonna keep the cub on floats for a week or two then to wheels.
