For people on the Weir Beach boardwalk and the Weirs sandy beach, watching a float plane doing take-offs and landings will add a highly visible, fun-to-watch, and exciting happening every time the float plane flies in or out. It could become a signature event at the Weirs and add a new dramatic twist for the lakeside crowds to watch.

Here it comes, there it is, it's coming in for a landing, the plane ..... the plane .... the plane! .....

The white and green float plane by-the-way is a De Havilland Beaver, built by De Havilland Aircraft in Calgary, Alberta, Canada a long time ago in 1952, so it is age 71 or 72, and still flying.

I'm sure the six Laconia city councilors and the mayor will all give this float plane attraction the consideration that it deserves and will consider everything and do their best to actually make it happen. Five years down the road, they will be pleased they give this float plane, Weirs attraction ,a fair shake to give it a go and come up with a safe plane plan to make it a well known Weirs Beach coming and going attraction.

Here's a different interesting video showing the world famous De Havilland Beaver in flight, vintage 1950's ........ www.youtube.com/watch?v=whGBUV8eg-A ..... just picture that at the Weirs!
