A friend of mine in Bemidji flys those planes.
And every one of them is skippered by someone saying, "It's not my fault, it's those people over there."
“The sheriff took video of one of the planes collecting water after rounding up boaters and clearing the way:”
Not a boat in sight!
This is like the morons standing in the road at the Tour De France, only this would be even more catastrophic to have a seaplane collide with a boat.
I am a very experienced boater and I am always aware of my surroundings on the lake. One thing I have always noticed people lose ALL common sense when they get behind the wheel of a boat. Total jack asses. That’s why I drive on the defense.
“Never get between a MN fisherman and his Walleye”
The movie “Grumpy Old Men” was filmed in MN and its pretty accurate.
What is not real...Ann Margret and Sophia Loren.
MN women are totally intimidated by hot women and very controlling.
How about some tough love?
Just one time have a plane sink a boat while picking up water. Problem solved.
Not surprised. Every time I find a spot I want to fish at on a large lake some water skier or personal watercraft has to show off how awesome they are 50 yards from my boat.
So the Sheriff was doing the same thing everyone else was doing.
If the mosquitos at Lake Bemidji are the same as the mosquitos at Leech Lake, that may be what the guy saw from the air. Those things should have red and green warning lights blinking on their wings.
Bemidji? I remember that place from Fargo season 1.
