Ed and Courtney Get Seaplane Ratings!


Congratulations to Ed Tietjen and Courtney Risner who just got back from an Alaskan adventure where they both earned Airplane Single Engine Sea (ASES) ratings! The seaplane rating is one of the most fun ratings a pilot can earn, and can really test skills when operating in strong winds (there are no brakes) or over glassy water. Now both Ed and Courtney want to do back country training, and Alaska is the perfect place to go.
