AeroSports Update: Seaplane Training…On The House

Passionate Pilot Wins King Schools’ Alaska Seaplane Rating Sweeps

Here’s a story that would make any pilot wince with a hint of envy. Most all landlubber pilots look at flying off of water as something they would like to do but, all too commonly, just never get it done. In this case, becoming a splash-and-float pilot came as a prize.

Blake Godfrey, a passionate pilot, CFI, and newly hired airline pilot, has won the King Schools Alaska Seaplane Rating Sweepstakes. Blake, of Taylor, Arizona, takes home a package of prizes that includes a seaplane rating and bush pilot flying vacation at legendary Alaska Floats and Skis in Talkeetna, Alaska.

Blake and a companion of his choice will enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Alaska where they will stay at the Alaska Floats and Skis Pilot Lodge right on beautiful Christensen Lake. While there, Blake will earn his Seaplane Rating and enjoy a bush flying course. He will also receive a KING Get-It-All Kit and $1,000 spending money for his vacation.

“We can’t imagine a better winner. Blake loves learning new things about flying,” John King commented. “Fulfilling his dream of earning his seaplane rating will be an over-the-top thrill for him,” added Martha King, “and Blake will be able to accelerate his jet training with the King new Jet Pilot Get-It-All Kit.” “The $1,000 spending money certainly won’t hurt either,” concluded John.

“King Schools has helped me succeed as a pilot from Private through CFI, and now to the airlines, and beyond,” noted Blake. “Winning this sweepstakes is really a dream come true.”
