WARNING: A Sheriff's Deputy was at Grass Roots Airpark Saturday looking for a green and white seaplane. Someone filed a complaint about the plane buzzing boats and jet skiis. I don't have any more info yet. I'll try to get more, but in the mean time. Let's be careful guys. This could cost the pilot big time and gives us all a bad reputation. I think most boats and jet skiers love a close fly-by, but not all and it only takes one to ruin somebody's day. Be safe.

One more reason to paint plane a solid color and use decals for other colors. If you have to, you can 'change clothes' before heading back to the ranch.

We also need one of those James Bond gadgets that can change the N numbers by hitting a switch.

Maybe it would just be easier not to buzz the boats?

Very true Dan, I was only kidding about the numbers. I'm a paranoid pilot after hearing about people getting their license suspended and law enforcement being called for buzzing and etc. I give everything much more clearance than I did in the past. I like flying too much to cause myself any problems with the authorities.

As I shut down my engine recently a uniformed man with a gun pulled up on his motorcycle and began his confrontation with, 'Your yellow ultralight was flying low over Genoa (Note: 5 miles away from KMEV) and making noise!' I explained that my SEAPLANE (not ultralight) had been no closer than 4 miles from the alleged infraction and in the local traffic pattern to accomplish 3 stop and goes for currency, that it was Navy and Bahama blue, with Kelly green and yellow, that there were 3 eye witnesses who saw me in the pattern, one of which was the airport operations supervisor in his truck and that it was the FAA who has jurisdiction in the airspace over said town. Undeterred, he knew he had caught his man, so radioed the disptacher to have the complainant come out to the airport to identify my 'ultralight'. Needless to say, this went no where. <br /><br />Beware of motorcycle deputies with big guns and bigger egos. Only as he was leaving, did I find out who he was and what law enforcement agency he represented (poorly!) by requesting is business card.<br /><br />At home I downloaded my GPS data for the flight, printed a map showing my ground track in the traffic pattern no closer than 4.2 miles to the town and forwarded the all the details to the local FAA FSDO, with copies to the elected sheriff, the deputy's captain and Barney Fife. Of course, no action there either! <br /><br />Fly by the rules and keep your GPS going! <br /><br />On a related issue the Lake Tahoe seaplane noise complaint issue is dead (for now) and the noise expert has joined the ranks of the unemployed according to the local rumor mill. So for now Lake Tahoe is as open to seaplanes as ever. Bring your turbo and fly on up! It's 22 miles long and 15 miles wide of splashing clear water!

Nice pic, John.<br />Since Tahoe is over 6K I figure you had to be around 9,000 MSL.
