Overview
The purpose of the Seaplane Homecoming is to honor the man, Glenn Hammond Curtiss, who inspired men to pursue Seaplane development. He was, after all, the first to fly
off water and had ideas well ahead of their time that are still used today in every seaplane flying. We invite you to attend the Seaplane Homecoming held every year in Glenn Curtiss'
hometown of Hammondsport, New York on the second weekend after Labor Day (Around the middle of September).
