This Lake amphibian makes a flyby after departing the annual Pacific Coast Dream Machines show held at the Half Moon Bay Airport.  Originally developed in the late 1940’s as the Colonial C-2 Skimmer, manufacturing rights were acquired by the Lake Aircraft Corporation in October 1959 and the aircraft was built as the LA-4.  The aircraft was in production as recently as 2007.   Over 1,000 Buccaneers were produced.  Nikon D300 w/80-200mm.
