LAKE JAMES, IN (WTVB) – The Indiana Seaplane Pilots Association held their 22nd Splash-In at Pokagon State Park’s Potawatomi Inn on Sunday.
It was the first Splash-In held since the death of long time event organizer Randy Strebig and his wife Allison. They died last November when their small plane crash while taking off from the Mason County Airport near Ludington.
Strebig was also the President of the Indiana Seaplane Pilots Association which organizes the annual event. Zack Willig is now serving as the Association’s President.
Park visitors on Sunday had a chance to see the seaplanes take off and land on Lake James as well as taxi onto the Potawatomi Inn front lawn.
They can also view the seaplanes and visit with the pilots. Thanks to the efforts of the Association, Lake James was designated as a public seaplane base in 2012.
