Whether seaplane rated or not, the annual MSPA Safety Seminar is worth attending, as much of the information presented can be applied to both floatplane flying and flying on wheels. And the opportunity for social interaction and activity cannot be beat! Madden’s operates Steamboat Bay Seaplane Base (M16) on Gull Lake, and East Gull Lake Airport (9Y2) located adjacent to the resort. Courtesy shuttle service is provided to pilots and their guests between the airport and the resort (www.maddens.com). MSPA’s other big event of the year is its “Pig Roast” to be held Sunday, August 8 at Surfside Seaplane Base in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Refer to the MSPA website for details: (http://www.mnseaplanes.com/) The purpose of the Minnesota Seaplane Pilots Association is to promote seaplane flying and safety in the state of Minnesota; educate and inform government officials, the legislature and the public on seaplane operations; and create safe and compatible seaplane bases throughout Minnesota. q
