I just got a report of a red & white seaplane doing a "touch and go" in Western Branch between Russells Point and Burnt Mills around 12:30 today. The person that called didn't get a tail number, but said the plane was close to a boat and maybe someone out there got more information. If you know of anyone with information, please have them call me at 441-5678.
Thanks.

If I'd been in the boat I probably would have poop my pants. Wow
Just when you thought you've seen it all....
I was on the lake from 1 to 5. I guess I missed the airshow.
There were some City of Norfolk employees on the water in a pontoon boat. You might want to check with them.
Just when You thought it was safe to go back on the water..........CF
Talk about your water bug!
That was who gave me the report. Unfortunately, the plane flew directly overhead and they couldn't see the tail numbers.
Might want to ask over at BassJons site, they've got some guys who fish there a lot.
Years ago there was one that operated on the Chowan out of the ramp on US 13. I don't know if he was just giving rides or what but I often wondered if he knew about those stumps in the middle of the river.
2 times last year in Lake Prince during the summer a red and white sea plane did touch and goes. Barely cleared the bridge one time.
I'd start with checking out the local airstrips. I can't think there would be too many red and white planes with pontoons in this area.
Is is this even a crime?
it was a spotter plane and my gps was down so he was giving me a heads up
No permit and motor was too big :biggrin
Maybe an Omega spotter plane. Keep a look out for net boats.
At least he had the prop outta the water.:biggrinQuote:

Good ole PanMan used to spider rig about that fast! I miss him.
Gives new meaning to running and gunning. Think about it, you could cover every hot spot on every body of water you fish all in the same day.CF
