May
31st Mike Brown Memorial, Lake Tahoe, CA. This is supported, in part, but the local EAA Chapter 1073 and the local community which has, in the past, provided funding for the insurance policy. Only a one-day, but there is a pancake breakfast at the EAA Chapter and a BBQ at the Obexer’s Marina in Homewood. The local Sherriff’s Boat and CC Auxiliary Boats provide security and support.
June
4-15 KSTS Snomoma County/Santa Rosa,
CA. New this year, The Grumman Fly-In is the Real
Deal, they will be doing Albatross Training and checkrides in the week
leading up to the weekend of June 11 – 13 when a tour of California Waters and a
fly-in picnic on Lake Berryessa is planned for June 12. All
seaplanes are invited for that weekend and we would like to see a good
turnout. Ray Wolfe is standing up the website for this and Seaplane
Ops. will be responsible for the organization.

Arlington regional fly-in is straight float accessable.Contact Joel at 360-377-9076 or joelmapes@comcast.net
The plan is to run a self-serve operation again like last
year. Three or four buoys will mark anchors for moorage and two sets of cleats
will be temporarily installed on the dock. The resort is already taking
reservations for campsites and cabins for this season http://www.lakegoodwinresort.com/ and bus
service is available from the resort to Arlington airport http://www.commtrans.org/BusService/Schedule.cfm?route=240 with a stop at 188th St NE and 47th Ave NE. I plan to overnight
there with the Kitfox (God and the FAA willing) and there may be a few other
Chapter 406 members staying there too. It would be great to see more float
planes on the lake this year. Info for this year will be posted soon at

Landing Bill and Connie Montgomery have invited us all to join
them for their magnificant event. This year they've combined the music
with the splash-in and our famous chef Matt Campbell will be bringing his famous
salmon again! Assuming he has good luck on his trip to Canada the week
before. Bill writes....we're only 15 miles from Whitefish Montana, and 40 miles from the West
entrance to Glacier National Park, nearby GPI ( old FCA) provides three major
carriers, room to park you jet or single engine land plane, with full service
Kalispell city airport (S27) and the grass strip at Whitefish ( 58S,no services)
close by. Of course we have lots of space for float planes and amphibians on our
lakeshore plus ample RV space. There is camping (close to your seaplane) and lots of music and
activities. There will be several food vendors , breakfast and pot lucks at our
hangar. Check out more details at www.stillwaterlanding.com and our new
Facebook, Stillwater Landing fan page. We also are working with the www.FlyingMusicians.org which is
encouraging fly in music events around the country. You can contact Bill

28th Annual Lake in the Sky Airshow at the South Lake Tahoe Airport. This is not specifically a seaplane event, but we have always tried to get a good seaplane turnout to promote public acceptance of seaplane access to Lake Tahoe. Last year they did so and, as a result, they have had a good rapport established with the biologist responsible for invasive species issues in Lake Tahoe. This year they are hoping to set up a tent with information about seaplanes and their use in the Western US. Ray Arceneaux has been nominated to run this and they may make some kind of a fly-out event for Sunday, perhaps a picnic on Lune Lake or one of the other high reservoirs that are open there.
