Doesn't an aircraft taking off have the right of way over a power boat?



Believe it or not, no, which is contrary to what you'd think. Check FAR
91.115. Airplanes are pretty low on the pecking order when on water.

However, the guy in CT, purposely and repeatedly messed with the aircraft.



He could have killed someone in the plane.


Hmm, I am in Canada, it may be different here. A landing aircraft has
the right of way over anything but a sailboat, I think. It's been 15
years and things change.....???
