At multiple locations from Alaska to Florida using 15 different seaplanes, the dedicated film crew and expert trainers spent more than a year creating the video.

The course was made possible with the considerable resource network of the Seaplane Pilots Association, and in recognition Sporty’s is donating multiple seaplane rating scholarships to the Seaplane Foundation. The course represents a new level of cooperation between Sporty’s, SPA and the Seaplane Foundation.

It’s worth your time to listen to Patty’s, Bret's and Steve’s insider talk about the most informative and entertaining seaplane training video that has ever been produced.

Held every other year on an historic freshwater seaplane lake just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic Ocean on France’s southwestern coast, the International Seaplane Meeting Biscarrosse combines history, seaplanes, aerobatic routines, military fighter demonstrations, historic flights and so much more, all for a massive celebration of hydro aviation—water flying.

It’s a little-known fact that the very first seaplane flight took place in France, and Biscarrosse played an important part in France’s aviation history. Tune in for an enjoyable exploration of now-historic seaplanes that were developed in this small beach community with a Key West vibe, sand dunes, and some of the world's best wine and oysters.

Though seaplanes no longer are manufactured in Biscarrosse, the community now hosts one of the largest seaplane events in the world. It is a spectacle featuring seaplanes from across all of Europe. Visitors get to enjoy seaplane formation flights, a night airshow, a drone show, fireworks displays, concerts, food vendors, a dedicated seaplane museum, and so much more. It is a bucket-list event for seaplane enthusiasts especially, but also anyone enamored with aviation of any kind.

Get ready to be surprised when you learn about a thrilling example of a vibrant and hugely popular international seaplane event and the many adventures awaiting you in Europe.

Heat cycles, slip joints, vibration and aggressive throttle application and reduction all contribute to aircraft system and exhaust system failures. Exhaust systems have an average useful life that is probably much lower than most pilots assume.

Listen and apply this discussion to save money and increase the reliability and life of your aircraft systems.

This isn't your average amphibious seaplane, it carries over 40 gallons of freshwater, has 2 generators , stove, heater, commercial refrigerator & freezer, carries an inflated tender with a 2 stroke outboard in a belly pod that launches it and so much more.

Recorded on the shores of Priest Lake, Idaho from the cabin of the 2 Solitude An-2 this show is a blast.

Based in Sheridan, Wyoming, JT is a SPA Field Director and passionate promotor of all things aviation. JT's school is the only seaplane training facility in Wyoming, and we are thrilled to see such a unique opportunity for pilots to learn high density operations in a Cessna 172 at a lake surface elevation of nearly 4,600ft. I did it, and I can attest... rated seaplane pilot or not this is a great opportunity to not only earn your seaplane rating, but to learn how to operate seaplanes in high density altitudes.

The N3N was the primary seaplane trainer for the US Navy from 1936 until 1961. It is a rare example of a military aircraft that was designed and produced by the US government and not an industrial aircraft manufacturer such as Boeing and its Model 75 Stearman. Join Steve and Addison as they discuss the unusual construction and handling characteristics of the N3N.

The Alaska Aviation Museum has many great historic aircraft including a PBY, Grumman Goose, Grumman Widgeon, a Sikorsky S-43 cockpit section, Beech-19 on floats and a Waco YKC on floats among others.

With SPA's help, it continues to offer flightseeing operations off of the mud (listen to the episode to learn more), where customers can fly over Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay and the amazingly beautiful Pacific Coast.

Clear Lake is the largest lake fully within the state of California, with over 100 miles of shoreline, and yet the region is sparsely populated and under visited. Of specific interest to seaplane pilots, the lake has 100 years of seaplane activity with everything from the Pan Am Clipper ships to the military using the lake as a primary location for PBY, PBM and Martin Mars training.

Our thanks to Herb Lingl, the Skylark Resort, the city of Lakeport and all of the volunteers who made this event such a success.

Perfectly calm, cool and clear weather welcomed over 30 seaplanes and their pilots. This amazing event which was hosted by the WSPA and Fenwick family at their amazing seaplane base nestled within the backcountry of Northern Idaho, just 40 miles from the Canadian border.

Sid Pinney from Turbo Float Pump has been working with the Seaplane Pilots Association for over two years on the topic of this episode, the "Turbo Float Pump." This cordless drill powered float pump actually includes a field replaceable filter that allows seaplane pilots to pump their floats without risking the discharge of any aquatic invasive species.

The Turbo Float Pump is a great development that will help SPA and seaplane pilots continue to prove that:

1) We care about the environment

2) We are committed to proactively addressing the threat of AIS to our waterways

3) We are working to ensure that we are matching and/or exceeding the efforts that are being asked of other users groups like the boating community

Aquatic Invasive Species are second only to Safety issues at SPA, as they have become our largest threat to water access, so we highly encourage all seaplane pilots to stay informed on this topic and listen to this episode.

The Super Cub's first stretch was flown by Slade from home base in Winter Haven, FL to 19-Mile Bay, NH in support of keeping the Lake Winnipesaukee bay open. After the public hearing in New Hampshire the plane was flown to Brunswick, Maine where the Super Cub sat for two months during Oshkosh. Carter flew the second leg from Maine to Minnesota in support of the Greenville International Seaplane Fly-in and the MSPA Safety Seminar at Maddens Resort in Brainerd, MN. The Super Cub sat again for two months this time at Wipaire's Factory in Minnesota. The last leg was flown with Peter to return the Super Cub back to home base in Winter Haven.

Once all was said and done, the Super Cub logged 80 hours and crossed 25 states in this seaplane cross-country adventure.

From glaciers to beluga whales, moose and bears when you fly with the largest off-airport operator in the United States every flight is a dream come true for those seeking unique experiences.
