The Lake LA-4-200, also known as the Buccaneer, is an American four-seat light amphibious aircraft. Lake Amphibians have their roots in the grand tradition of flying boats maintained by the Grumman Corporation through the first half of the 20th century. The Lake's basic design was created by former Grumman designers shortly after the end of World War II, and refined through the years. You can learn more about Lakes at www.lakeflyers.com.
