“After completing my training, and three years of instructing at Leading Edge, I went on to fly tours in South East Alaska with TEMSCO in the AS350 B2, which primarily consisted of landing on glaciers and learning how to long line. Currently I’m fighting wildfire and conducting prescribed burn operations for the USFS and BIA with Heli-1 in the AS350 B3e.

My time at Leading Edge has given me both the skills and knowledge for a successful career, as well as the insight to work with top notch operators. Their machines are well kept and the instructors are known for setting an industry standard. On top of that the location of the school provides for an unparalleled training environment and incredible quality of life.”
