Fly the Last Frontier. Live the Dream.
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime flying adventure. Stay at our pilot lodge, fly real bush planes, and explore glaciers, gravel bars, lakes, and remote wilderness strips in the heart of Alaska.
What is it like to fly in Alaska?
That’s the question we hear most. The short answer? It’s like Disneyland for pilots. But that’s only scratching the surface. Here, the mountains are bigger, the skies wilder, and the runways are rivers, beaches, and gravel bars. Every flight is an adventure, every landing a story. Alaska isn’t just a place you fly—it’s a place that changes the way you see flying forever.
It’s the kind of experience that changes you. Early morning flights over glassy lakes. Spotting salmon leaping or bears wandering along the shoreline. Threading through mountain passes so close you can feel the wind shift. Touching down on gravel bars no road could ever reach. This isn’t just flying — it’s freedom.

The Pilot Lodge
Stay with us at the Pilot Lodge. An aviation themed property with three real, retired aircraft and a range of five cosy cabins to choose from.
DC-6

You'll find everything you need flying here in first class, one king and one queen bed, a pull out couch for extra guests, full kitchen and bathroom, as well as a BBQ grill on the walkout wing deck.
Cabins
These cabins offer a large layout as complete "tiny houses". They have in-floor heat to keep your toes warm in the winter, full kitchens, full-size shower complete with heated towel bar, and walk out balconies. not to mention communal access to the 727 wing deck, BBQ, kitchen and lounge.
DC-9
Climb aboard the 3 bed / 2 bath DC-9 Airplane. You'll find everything you need flying here in first class, one king and one queen bed, and a twin bed in the Kids room (tucked away in the belly cargo), full kitchen and bathroom, as well as a BBQ grill on the walkout wing deck.
Adventure for Every Season, Every Pilot
No matter the season, we have an experience for you. From hardcore, adventure-driven aviators to relaxed scenic flyers, there’s a Wild Sky Alaska package that fits your style.
Fishing
Cast a line in pristine rivers and lakes, or try your hand at Alaska’s legendary salmon runs. Many of our flights land right where the fish are biting.
Outdoor Activities
Hike remote trails, camp by glassy lakes, or explore untouched beaches and gravel bars only accessible by plane
Sight Seeing
Soar over glaciers, winding rivers, rugged peaks, and endless forests. Every seat is a window seat, and every flight is a front-row view of Alaska’s beauty.
Winter Wonderland
When the snow falls, the adventure doesn’t stop. Land on frozen lakes and snowy tundra with ski-equipped bush planes for a true winter flying experience.
They Came for the Flying. They Left Changed.

Dan M - Commercial Pilot
"This was the most alive I’ve felt in years. Every takeoff was a rush. Every landing was a lesson. Challenging me at every turn, I feel far more capable and competent in backcountry and mountain flying. Still so much to learn. I'll definitely be back. Great team, good equipment, epic venue!"
Pam - Lodge Guest
"Give up something to get something.. I am not wealthy... But I wanted to stay in this plane on my Alaska adventure, for my 50th state! I felt it was very symbolic for travel.. I can't say enough good things about this property... The massage chair was much needed after a hike... The views brought me a rainbow... The northern lights popped out To say hello... I went into town to get food from Basil Ginger For takeout... I ate it on the duck with the wonderful fire pit.... John was very responsive.... And the extra touches we're amazing.. Just do it!!!!! Book IT!!!"
Lisa W -Private Pilot & Outdoor Educator
"It’s not just about the airplanes — it’s about the freedom. The wilderness. The connection. The WSA team helped me every step of the way, from the millions of questions I had leading up to the Alaskan bush pilot experience to the final flight and salmon BBQ cook up on my last night. This is one of the best flying experiences I've had. Can't recommend it enough!"
Eli - Lodge Guest
"Staying at the airplane Airbnb was an incredible experience! The airplane itself is situated right on a small runway that occasionally sees small bush planes, making it a dream for aviation enthusiasts. Even if you're not particularly into aviation, the stay is well worth it. The place was clean, comfortable, and truly unique. Jon went above and beyond to make our stay special—he even brought us a bottle of wine after we had a flight delay, which really helped to turn things around. I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind stay with beautiful veiws of the Alaska mountains Whether you're into aviation or just looking for something different, this is a great choice."
