Floatplane Rating in Alaska

[CrewDawg]

I will be in Fairbanks, Alaska in june and was thinking about getting my Single-Engine Sea rating. For someone who has never flown in Alaska, would this be a bad idea? Any info would be great.

Also does anyone know anything about North Star Aero in Fairbanks?

No, that would be a great idea. Sorry I don't know anything about North Star or any other Fairbanks operator.
