Floatplane flying is one of the most exhilarating and addictive experiences you will ever have!

Chief Pilot, Judy Hodge, now also a Flight Instructor, will do your float endorsements under the new CASA Part 61 regulations. Having trained with Bill Lane, she has had the benefit of flying floatplanes alongside hime for the past seven years.
