Lake James Seaplane Splash-In
I attended the Lake James Seaplane Splash-In at the local state park in northeast Indiana yesterday. This was the third time I've attended since I moved here four years ago, and this was by far the best weather and aircraft attendance I've seen. I would guess about 25 seaplanes in attendance, including a Grumman Albatross and DeHavilland Beaver. Though not an airshow, there was plenty of flying and action, including two touch-and-goes on the water and several low fly-bys by the Albatross.
Probably my last event for 2017, and a perfect one to end the season on. Great opportunity to see aircraft in an environment I typically don't get to see them in, outstanding photo opportunities, plenty of flying and a low-key atmosphere without miles of tents, reserved seating or corporate propaganda.

Thanks for sharing! I have never heard of this but will have to keep it in mind next year. Definitely sounds like something different to check out
