By far the most fun I've ever had in an airplane. Little jaunt to Glacier National Park while grabbing a Commercial Sea Plane rating. Float plane training in a Super-Cub on floats! Spent 3 days with friends and family flying around Kalispell and the FlatHead lake area learning the ways of aircraft on the water! Great price, excellent instruction from Terry!! We will be back next summer for more!! read more

Incredibly romantic. An absolutely beautiful airplane. Superb pilot. Magical scenery. My sweetheart, Lori, booked the flight as a surprise for my 50th from the Lodge in Whitefish just prior to a few days fly fishing... soaring majestically above the rivers and lakes and mountains we would go on to explore made for the complete Montana experience. read more
