Pilots: Reminder
Thanks to ISPA's efforts, Lake James
was recently designated a PUBLIC Seaplane Base. As a result, it is
NO LONGER NECESSARY to get private permission in advance to attend this
event.
ISPA thanks the State of Indiana's Department of Natural
Resources and Department of Transportation for their cooperation in making this
change and opening more Indiana waters to seaplanes.
NOTICE: Attendance and participation in the Splash-In
is at the pilot's own risk.
Please be careful, considerate, and safe
in your operations. We are continually working to demonstrate that seaplanes are
compatible users of Indiana lakes, in order to open more waters to seaplane
access.

Directions by car:
See map at right.
Directions by air:
Fly direct to Angola airport (KANQ) in the far northeast
corner of Indiana, then fly out runway 05. You will overfly some water but keep
your eyes out for an island with a house on it, then look 30 degrees to the
north and you will see a large inn with a red roof…
That’s it!
