Planes land in hot water on frozen Lake Calhoun
Two pilots landed small airplanes on frozen Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis and left the aircraft there as they walked away for lunch Monday afternoon, then were ticketed and had to wait a few hours before federal officials cleared them for takeoff.
--- There was a Citabria with "PATROL" markings parked on Lake Minnetonka last year while the pilots enjoyed a coffee at the lake side bar. I thought it was so cool. I guess its not technically a State Park.
