Anchorage Location:

Plane Flown: Piper Pacer on floats @ Lake Hood

If you choose a float course or mountain flying course in Anchorage with the Piper Pacer, lodging is in a home in Government Hill. It is a quiet and very safe neighborhood. Jayson and Missy live in this “multifamily” home and you can expect some fire-pit beer drinking, outside bbqs, and fun for all. The portion of the house for clients has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and all the supplies for your stay (linens, pots/pans, etc.).

Wasilla Location:

Plane Flown: Beaver on floats, Supercub on floats, 180 (hourly only) on floats, Twinbee (hourly only) amphib, or Husky on wheels @ Vinsaw Lake

If you choose the float course, mountain flying course, or bush course in Wasilla with the option of a beaver, supercub, twinbee, 180, or husky, your lodging will be right on Vinsaw Lake. Clients will stay in a brand new hangar home with a kitchenette (no oven), lake access, fire-pit, and gorgeous accommodations. There are 2 hangar homes- both right on Vinsaw Lake. One hangar home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, shared kitchen, washer/dryer. The other hangar home has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and is reserved for those wanting more privacy or large groups as the kitchen is in one room and the other room does not have access to the kitchen area.

In both housing situations, you can expect your own bedroom but a shared kitchen area. Aviation camaraderie is one of our favorite aspects of our courses. We always say that you come as a stranger, and leave part of the family.
