Testimonials
Josh V.
As an aspiring bush pilot with around 150 hours, all in trainer Cessnas, I was looking to take my flying skills to the next level and gain real-world Alaskan flying experience. I saw an Instagram ad from Hudson Cub-Ventures offering tailwheel endorsements, and it felt like the perfect opportunity to start my journey into bush flying. From the moment I started flying with Jared, his expertise was evident. I never felt unsafe, and his Cub was extremely well maintained and an absolute joy to fly. This experience has solidified my dream of one day owning a similar plane and continuing my Alaskan flying journey. I can't wait to do more off-airport flying with Hudson Cub-Ventures!
