"captd2000" - Please go back to the "Regionals" forum and talk smack to the hopeful pilots over there.
I agree with the person who recommended going to a company who has both wheels and floats.
Start on the wheels, work your way to the floats. Start looking in AK. It's a lot of fun flying up there. Nothing I have experienced in the lower 48 will ever compare. Look up "Renfros Alaskan Adventures" out of Bethel, might be a good place to start. I know he is short of pilots. Here are some links, start clicking and searching. Good luck to you! 135 =
