I also took a ride on the sea plane out of Paugus Bay years back. It was a blast. I remember there being 2 landing areas and two sea planes -- this is going back to the 1980's. There was a red Cessana that took off behind Laconia Ice and a dark Cessana that took off across from the sporting goods place on Route 3. I am quite sure it was the same company. I took my ride in the red plane and if memory serves me correctly, the pilot was from Pine Island. The route used to take passengers out over the big lake as far as the Forties and then turn back to Paugus Bay.

I don't know of any other places on the lake that offer sea plane rides, but I have taken a flight with Emerson Aviation over the lake and it was great. Because there are no pontoons, you get a better view of Winnipesaukee and the islands. It was spectacular.
