Hi everyone, I'm a private pilot and have been making youtube videos for a while, I thought people might be interested in this one, on January 8th I flew from Bedford MA, over Laconia, up to Center Harbor, to Alton Bay, over to Sebago Lake, and back to Bedford. Check it out.

Great Video. I have just started flying myself out of Laconia and performed my first solo. Looking forward to some back and forth from Bedford to Laconia soon

At 5:10, the airport noted as "Winter Haven" is a closed airfield, slated for development.

Formerly a public airport since 1949, the Lakes Region Airpark is further described in the History forum—here:

Good stuff Bucky, I still remember my first solo, over in Sanford ME around 1989. The instructor told me to stop on a taxiway, he jumped out and said take it around 3 times. Great memories. Stick with it.

I fly into Laconia often, was just there on Wednesday, I videoed the Lake again frozen, hopefully it comes out. Looks like people have been snowmobiling from one end to the other.

Congratulations. It's a great and memorable accomplishment. My solo was 1970 in Corpus Christi, TX. Later, I learned to fly tail draggers in Maine on a grass strip--skis in winter, not wheels.
