Swiss Seaplanes
If anyone is interested there are a small number of Seaplanes in Switzerland:
A Maule on Straight Floats
A Super Cub on Amphibs
A Twin Sea Bee in the course of a rebuild
A Beaver that spends most of its life just across the boarder in Southern Germany, but is owned by a Swiss
Sadly, even with all of our beautiful lakes, the operation of aircraft from public (and that is all of them) lakes is forbidden by law. An exception to this rule is the private water landing area on the Upper Lake of Zürich alongside the airfield at Wangen-Lachen! This operates under some very old "Grandfather rights"!
If you are interested in looking at some photos try searching for the
Seaplane Pilots Association Switzerland (SPAS)
We have an annual slash-in at Bönigen on the Brienzersee (Near Interlaken) 2005 to be held on 1st to 3rd July.
