This 1947 Republic RC-3 Seabee has lowered it landing gear to taxi onto the beach in downtown Hammondsport after landing on Keuka Lake, NY. The aircraft was attending the 2008 seaplane fly-in sponsored by the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum.

The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum finally flew their reproduction of the 1914 Curtiss flying boat "America" from the surface of Lake Keuka at the museum's 2008 seaplane fly in Hammondsport, NY. In 1907, telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell formed the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) to develop aircraft and he recruited motorcycle and engine builder Glenn Curtiss to help. Design work began at Bell's estate in Nova Scotia and later moved to Curtiss' workshops in Hammondsport where four AEA aircraft were built and flown in 1908. In 1909, the AEA disbanded and Curtiss established his own company.

The 2007 Glenn H. Curtiss Museum Seaplane Fly In attracted several SeaBees, a Grumman G-44 Widgeon, Grumman G-21G Turbo Goose, Maule and marked the public debut of the Museum's full scale 1914 Curtiss America flying boat replica which took three years to build.

This aircraft was originally built as a Republic RC-3 Seabee and modified by Brian Robinson at (CNF4) Lindsay Municipal Airport, Ontario in approximately 2005 to a Robinson Special (msn 02) powered by a Chevrolet LS-1 V8 automotive engine. It was owned by Michael Lush between 2005 and 2017 and based in the Greater Toronto Area until cancelled from the Canadian aircraft register in October 2017.

The aircraft is parked on a small beach in downtown Hammondsport, NY used by aircraft attending the 2007 Glenn H. Curtiss Museum Seaplane Fly In.

This G-44 Widgeon was seen at the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum Seaplane Fly-in in 2007 and 2008.

The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum Seaplane Fly In in 2007 used a small beach on the waterfront of downtown Hammonsport, NY to park the visiting aircraft including several Seabees. This aircraft was lowered its landing gear in prior to taxing on to land.

This Seabee is now registered to an address in the UK.

This Grumman Goose (B-125) was converted to P&WC PT6A-27 turboprop engines by McKinnon Enterprises in 1970 to become G-21G Turbo Goose, msn 1226. The aircraft was a corporate aircraft in Alaska and in Louisiana before entering private ownership. The owner flew the aircraft from Oakland Country Airport, Michigan to Hammondsport, New York to attend the 2007 Glenn H. Curtiss Museum seaplane fly on Keuka Lake.

The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum publicly revealed their 72-foot wingspan reproduction of the 1914 Curtiss flying boat "America" at the Museum's annual seaplane fly in on Lake Keuka in Hammondsport, in New York's Finger Lakes region. The aircraft water taxied before the crowds in 2007 but did not fly because the two 100 hp special OXX6 engines sent out for overhaul were not ready. The replica flew for the first time at the 2008 fly in. The original America was built to compete for a $50,000 prize offered by the London Daily Mail for the first transatlantic crossing by a flying machine.
