Could you please explain what is childish about landing a
seaplane in the
water?

Lets see,
For starters this part of Lk. Mich. gets arr & dep traffic from
ORD. How responsible is it
to attempt a take off without telling FAA controllers? MDW traffic
goes over the southern portion of the lake, and the occasional
Hooters flight from Gary too.

And what if the take-off is faulty, how much boat traffic is in
the "crash zone"??

Those are the dumbest statements ever. One can fly up and down the
lake front 24 hours a day and not talk to anybody. Controllers
won't talk to you
even if you want them to. It is not under airtraffic control. Boat
traffic
in the middle of winter? Yea right. Even in the middle of summer
boat traffic is not a factor. You have obviously never seen Lake
Michigan. If
the takeoff is faulty you land on the 333 mile long runway or the 85
mile long cross runway.

Lets see ds, claims:
"Dave S.
2 years a pilot
15 years a competative Lake Michigan sailor"

So maybe you traveled this part of LM near north ave beach, maybe
not. But in the summer it IS crowded and anyone playing Chuck Yeager
needs to grow up.

Or have you forgotten the MIAMI WRECK ??


Two years a pilot? I think not. Don't know where you get your
information but I suspect it is from a place which does not see
sunshine. In the summer it is NOT crowded. If you want to see
crowded go up to the Chain of Lakes or Lake Geneva and guess what?
There are a number of float plane ops there with nary an incident even
though a significant number of the boat operators are several sheets
to the wind.

What's this about Miami?
