If you're going to be in the Finger Lakes area around the middle of September, you might consider the 3rd Annual Seaplane Homecoming at Hammondsport, NY, September 16-18. Here are a couple of links about it:<P><a href="http://www.republicseabee.com/Files/Curtissmuseum.pdf">http://www.republicseabee.com/Files/Curtissmuseum.pdf/</a><P><a href="http://www.linkny.com/~curtiss/">http://www.linkny.com/~curtiss/</a><P>I might even head back that way, myself.<P>If the weather cooperates, they plan on flying a replica of Glenn Curtiss' 1911 "A1 Triad," the first practical amphibious seaplane.<P>Keuka Lake is Y-shaped, with Hammondsport at the very bottom of the stem and Penn Yan Airport (PEO) at the top of the right branch.<P>Here's a photo, looking south, with the stem ahead and the hill separating the branches on the right:<P><img src="inline/10094-L_Keuka_NY_0005_33.jpg" alt="L-Keuka-NY-0005-33"><P>Hammondsport is just around the bend to the right, at the far end of the lake.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

A spam can beats no can at all, Eric! 'Spam Can to Penn Yan'--what a song title that would be! <br /><br />I'm mulling it over. It's about 4 SeaRey hours back up there from here...
