"The iconic Lake Aircraft plus the equipment needed to build it is for sale by Revo, Inc., after 35 years of ownership. The new owner would get the rights to the FAA-certified Lake Renegade, Seafury, and Seawolf aircraft. There are 1,300 Lake aircraft flying in 50 countries. "The sale of Lake Aircraft is a rare opportunity to quickly set up manufacturing operations and continue production of the successful line of amphibious airplanes," said Armand Rivard, president of Revo Inc., the Lake Aircraft holding company."

Rivard tried to sell the line at an auction at Oshkosh during AirVenture four or five years ago. No one bid.

I love Lakes.
 
. . . . seems to me they used to be made at Sanford Airport, here in Maine. Then it was moved out of state(what else is new?).

I've always liked them. Another plane I'd love to add to my collection if I could somehow convince my wife that owning more than one plane isn't completely nuts. Maybe I could introduce her to Kermit Weeks.....
 
Dude, that's where the "amphibian" part comes in handy!!!!!!:smile:

Super Cub - Wiscasset KIWI: The Texas owners(Maine, during summers) had left the plane and departed. A severe hailstorm was predicted in a radio bulletin. They doubled-back and managed to get her into the airport's main hangar before the storm.
