Apparently you share the same mentality as the rest of the law scoffing Captain B's which so many forum members are fed up with.
You have no idea why the ban on planes for Pickerel Pond even exists, you just jump to the conclusion that its a dumb rule so it should not be enforced. If I had to guess, I'd say its there for a good reason- the pond is not even a half mile wide! An obvious risk is that the plane doesn't have enough water to land/take off and an accident would result in an ecological nightmare on such a small body of water.

And for the record. I do not condone violating the 150 rule. I've been boating on Winnipesaukee my entire life and understand how things work. YOU now sound quick to ASSUME without the facts. I was simply stating laws are broken regularly. Some need to be taken more seriously than others. Pursuing action against somebody who isn't causing harm seems pointless in my eyes. From another ASSUMPTION, i'm going to say the pond/lake must be wide enough if the pilot has done it several times now. Maybe cutting it close, but you are right, I do not have all the facts.
I'm not here to argue with people like you, just simply state my OPINION. Take it with a grain of salt.
