Based aircraft as counted for the FAA, fiscal year 2024
No based-aircraft count is published for this seaplane base.
The FAA's count is the general-aviation aircraft kept on the field (singles, twins, business jets, helicopters) from its Terminal Area Forecast, the latest year with an actual count; airline fleets are never counted as based anywhere, so a big airline airport shows a small number. The register section below shows how many aircraft are registered to owners in town, a different measure again.
Takeoffs and landings a year about 200, the FAA's fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024)
