The Lake Amphibian Flyers Club
The Lake Amphibian Flyers Club is an organization of Lake
aircraft owners and aficionados which provides fellowship and communication for
owners and future owners of Lake Amphibians. We have nearly 500 members in North
America, Europe, Australia and throughout the world. The club is dedicated to
the promotion of safety, knowledge, & proficiency through exchange of
information. This is accomplished via a newsletter which is published six times
a year, and through a very active members-only internet discussion forum. There
is now an accumulation of 950 pages of over newsletters going back over 18
years. This resource contains a wealth of information concerning the operation
of Lakes, and is available for purchase by members of the club.
The club was founded in 1988 by Bill and Louise Goddard of
Frostproof, Florida. Bill and Louise had a Lake Buccaneer and kept it parked on
the lawn of their home on Lake Reedy. They initiated an annual Fly-In event
which brought together Lake flyers from near and far and continues to this day.
 The
Fly-In, held in Florida each winter or spring, lasts 4 days and features a
series of seminars hosted by experts in the Lake community. Topics are explored
in the areas of flying technique, maintenance problems and procedures,
insurance, and travel discussions. A great deal of good fellowship is gained at
this event and many have made lifetime friendships amongst the people they met
here. Many Lake pilots and their spouses attend from all over, some with, most
without their airplanes. In addition to the US and Canada, we have had numerous
people attend from as far away as South America, Europe, and Australia.
In 2000, Bill Goddard became ill and was no longer able to
manage the club. Club management was taken over by Marc & Jill Rodstein, of Wellington, Florida. Marc & Jill welcome all interested parties to take part in club
activities. Inquiries can be sent to Lake Amphibian Flyers Club, 15695 Boeing Court, Wellington, FL. 33433, USA, or by email by using the form below.
