Win a Seaplane Rating and Bush Flying Course in Alaska!
Spend 6 days having fun and learning with one of Alaska´s top bush pilots—and earn your Seaplane Rating in the process! Alaska Floats & Skis is located at the foot of Mount McKinley, just outside of the historic town of Talkeetna. The aviation community of Talkeetna has long been known for its support of mountain expeditions, rescue operations, and wilderness adventures.
You will first earn your add-on Seaplane Rating while training on the many remote and beautiful lakes that surround the base at Christiansen Lake. Then trade in those floats for 31" Bush Wheels to hone your skills by landing a tail dragger on mountain strips with an experienced Talkeetna bush pilot. This is all stick and rudder flying and you will certainly come away with greater confidence and a wonderful sense of accomplishment—not to mention being the envy of all your pilot friends!
Bring a Companion—Free
Bring your spouse or significant other to share the experience. They will enjoy the comfort of the lodge as you train with Alaska Floats & Ski´s flight team. Talkeetna has become a popular tourist destination with all sorts of fun activities.
On the lake there is a 21´ San-Juan sail boat for your use. There are also a paddle boat and canoe with all the equipment necessary to have a great time on the water.
There are 5 restaurants for a very diverse dining experience. Other activities include river rafting, horseback riding, dog sled rides, and mountain biking. Talkeetna also has a beautiful park with miles of trails maintained to walk or ride on.
Includes Airfare, Rental Car and Accommodations
Your vacation package includes airfare for two from any city in the USA, a rental car during your stay and accommodations in the beautiful Alaska Floats & Skis lodge right at the seaplane base on the shore of Christiansen Lake. We´ll even throw in $1,000 of spending money for your meals and entertainment during your vacation!
You will have the flying experience of a lifetime—we guarantee it!
John and Martha spent many years traveling in Alaska and teaching 2 day ground schools when they were first getting King Schools off the ground. They have explored the state flying a Cessna 185 on floats and love both the awe-inspiring state of Alaska and its extraordinary people. This prize was especially picked by the Kings in honor of that time and they know the winner will have the flying experience of a lifetime!
