Lachen, Switzerland Eastern end of lake Zurich.
Recognised it immediately. Took me a couple of hours to remember where it was.
Brilliant place in the summer but b cold in winter.
Quite amazing how big the swiss navy is now.

Ah, glassy water landings - the anticipation of the floats touching the water. You're always higher than you think!
How about Lake Hood (PALH/LHD)?

Thanks OF.
I knew there were a lot of float planes in Alaska, but I was amazed by these statistics in Wikipedia:
Now for the next airfield, nothing nautical about this one:

For 12-month period ending August 1, 2005, the seaplane base had 69,400 aircraft operations, an average of 190 per day: 88% general aviation, 12% air taxi and <1% military. There are 781 aircraft based at this seaplane base: 97% single engine and 3% multi-engine.
Hi Brian,
Yes, I had just discovered that myself. I thought it looked familiar!

The cars, trucks, minivans and motorhomes look very American, so the question is "Where in the US is there a pink Jaguar?"
Ah, yes. Thanks for the hint, grizzled.
Now that I've taken off my pink-tinted glasses, I see I should have said "Where in the US is there a pink F-5?"
And it was only yesterday, that I was looking at two of them!
Edited to add: F5s that is, not pink ones. The ones I was looking at were in a three-tone scheme of brown, green and corrosion.

SHN, too many trees and too much grass for Nevada I think. My guess is further north, possibly eastern Washington or Idaho.
SHN - does look like a gatheirng at NAS Fallon, but I42 is correct that it's a tad further north.
Figuring out why the F5 is painted that way will lead you to its role and where it's based. But not to where it was parked on that day . . .
