  • Made possible by Jack Brown's Seaplane Base. Flying seaplanes fundamentally changes the way you fly as a pilot. You're no longer held back by paved runways and can fly directly into some of the most beautiful parts of the world. I had the opportunity to add a seaplane rating to my commercial pilot certificate over 2 days and it was the experience of a lifetime.
    CLICK HERE to learn more about how to get your own seaplane rating through Jack Brown's Seaplane Base: brownsseaplane.com/
    Jack Brown's Seaplane Base, Florida has trained over 25,000 seaplane pilots since 1963. I had an awesome experience flying with their school and can't recommend it enough. If you want a new challenge in your flying career THIS is it!

      Take your time srcstc, furloughs and layoffs are going to increase through Oct. Most major airlines are down 65-75% on pilots for the first time in history over a bad flu, and the regionals which is where Swain was/is, is also in a huge layoff phase. The industry is a mess full of greedy CEO'sflying heavy big jets on short routes with less than 45% capacity and adding regional routes to cities they'd never add in normal times because theres no need for passenger service to those particular cities, wasting money. And I know recruiters for both regionals and majors, they say the industry is going to decrease in size by 40% and no more hiring (obviously), likely until after 2024 if at all, and when the furloughed pilots comeback it will be the most senior and qualified that get a call to return. Even those pilot recruiters positions are getting eliminated for the next 4 years. People thought corporate part 135 & 91 flying would pick up, well not like people thought. Only a little. I am with a fairly large charter group with 28 aircraft, 44 pilots and we are actually starting to furlough 😔

    I ordered a video Cassette tape from Jack Browns in 99, It was so well done that after watching it multiple times over several days, I was able to fly my new on floats 2 seater ultralight airplane with absolute confidence, by the third day i was doing circular take offs, with in a week I was flying out of small tight mountain lakes. I treasure that video to this day. Canada requires no endorsement to fly floats on Ultralight aircraft to 1200lbs

Plus I really like how your thumbnails aren't stupid looking attention grabbers. I live in Winter Haven and have been thinking about paying for a seaplane ride, or maybe an hour of dual. I got my private certificate almost 30 years ago but I've been sidelined for a long time thanks to the arthritis that unfortunately runs in the family. Anyway, keep up the great work.
