The memories made and knowledge gained working underneath Jason doing seaplane tours and flight instructing where priceless. Working at Seaplane R Fun helped me get to where I am in my career today. Highly recommend.

Head Of DepartHi. I’m on Southwest flight to Phoenix and it made me think of you. I got my ATP a couple weeks ago and completed upgrade OE last week. Thank you so much for helping me start my aviation career-from being a student at SML to an instructor. You provided me with my first aviation job and I’m so grateful. Thank you!
