Testimonials
Alan was encouraging, competent, and available to assist me with my journey in obtaining a private pilot’s license every step of the way. We bonded quickly, and he held me to account –
ensuring that I was always aware of the expectations, goals and the road map. A tremendous amount of work was involved- his enthusiasm and knowledge made learning to fly an adventure!

Alan was an outstanding seaplane instructor; patient, knowledgeable, and steady when you’re learning something new in the cockpit. He has a calm, confidence-inspiring style and a knack for breaking things down so they just click. I earned my seaplane rating with him years ago, and the lessons have stuck with me ever since.

Alan is an excellent instructor both on the water and the runway. He took me from zero time through my Private Pilot checkride and was always flexible in working with my schedule. After earning my seaplane rating in Florida, I immediately hopped in with him once returning to Maine to transition into the Skywagon and build on my skills. We fly together frequently to this day. Alan is patient but firm, holds you accountable, and has a teaching style that reduces stress while building real confidence.

George and I have flown together both professionally (Part 135) and privately in Seaplanes since 2002. We bonded over flying into remote lakes, rivers, and coastal airports. George has the ability to empower you with technical knowledge and skill which he gained from flying Maine’s backcountry over the last few decades. Whats impressive about George is his style of instructing is very relaxed and fun.
