A group of area pilots is still pushing to get the Army Corps of Engineers’ permission to land their seaplanes on Lake Lanier. Specifically, the Lanier Seaplane Pilots Association is working its way through a list of corps questions, such as whether drones are in the mix of aircraft that might land and how the group would avoid hitting such birds as Canada geese, seagulls and migratory waterfowl. Troy Wheeler said the group, as it wraps up the questions, may seek a “trial period, maybe during the winter, when there’s very limited activity out there.”
