. I'm learning to fly seaplanes in Alaska, and it's a total blast being in the cockpit learning again. Sarah is my flight instructor and CFI. She's fantastic. Of course doing all of this in Alaska is amazing. This is such beautiful area.

Aviation has all sorts of different career paths. Sarah and I are both full time flight instructors and educators in aviation. But this time I'm not the CFI, I'm the student pilot. I'm getting my commercial float plane rating. I've got to plans to use it as an aviation job, but it's just something cool and new and fun to do.
Flying in Alaska is of course very different, and so Sarah needs to show me all the in's and out's of how to land an airplane on water.
You may recognize Sarah from her video with Josh Flowers, Aviation101.
We do float plane landings, float plane takeoffs, and more difficult things like Step Turns and Glassy Water Landings.
