It must be spring when the New England Seaplane Expo is scheduled.

This year is the 10th anniversary and is to be held on June 12, 2010, from 9 AM to 2 PM at the Brandy Pond Seaplane Base (5ME) in Naples, Maine.

All are welcome to fly straight floats or amphibious aircraft since there is plenty of room at the docks and a nice ramp to exit the water onto the grass.

If the weather is not conducive to flying, be sure and come and stay at one of the locals Inns, or camps within walking distance to the seaplane base.

Make a weekend of it for even more fun.

This year the morning presentations will be on Personal Minimums and on Piston Engines and their Operations.

A barbecue lunch will again be served by the Katahdin Wings, Maine's Chapter of the International Women Pilots, or better known as the 99s.
Lunch is a fund raiser for scholarships to ACE camp for budding aviation students.

In the afternoon two speakers will present a talk on International Border Crossing and the new eAPIS that has to be filed electronically prior to crossing an International Border.
All of these seminars are of direct importance to seaplane pilots, so come and also join in the social event of the year.

This annual event would not be possible without the faithful sponsors:
Wipaire, Scruffyy Publications, Maine Aviation and Aviation Digest.

There are many prizes to be won such as a David Clark headset, 1 year gift certificate to the Seaplane Pilots Association, a Biennial Flight Review from Naples Seaplane Service, a gift certificate for sim time from Nashua Flight Simulator and much more.
