    Ok So far
    I have contacts near the Adirondacks in Boonvile NY. ( you could park a float plane about 1/2 hour away)
    Jon Stark can help with Basin Harbor which is on Lake Champlain near Canada and has Seaplane access.
    David Mcormick Can get us into 71N & SPB Sunbury,Pa which has floatplane access on the Susquehanna River.


    Let's get some Voting on these locations

    I think to get a feel for these airports , those of you who have knowledge of what they can offer would be helpful to the rest of us . Stuff like :do they allow overnight tent camping , nearby place to eat, restrooms etc . Would help make a more informed decision . Hard to find much information especially if they are private strips, so your insider information will help. Thanks Bruce N199CL

    Boonville does allow camping out as we have some other flyins every year in fact we might plan it for the same weekend as the RAF gathering. They normally have a cook out. We would have to get a ride into town for anything else. We could also fly to other fields for some meals like Lake Placid for example.

    Thanks Fred, I was thinking the same about a fly out day to lake placid. The airport is close to town and they have a shuttle to and from the airport. Bruce N199CL

    FWIW, Basin Harbor has a restaurant on the field and camping very nearby. It is not very close to a town, I'm game for anyplace

    I'm not far just being North of the border in Ottawa. Just need a few more months to finish up - but count me in.

    Have you ever flown back and forth across the border ? Is that difficult ? I want to fly into Canada But I hear all kinds of rumors about experimental and LSA not being allowed. I am not LSA licensed but my plane is LSA.
