The FLY8MA Pilot Lodge has earned a reputation for offering one-of-a-kind accommodations and unforgettable flying experiences from its secluded property in Alaska’s Big Lake area. Jon, the owner, is a Flight Instructor and Tour Pilot based here in Alaska, flying year-round on floats, wheels, and skis. He began building the property—including runways, cabins, and airplane hangars—in 2021. Since then, his YouTube channel has skyrocketed in popularity, attracting over 200,000 subscribers with flight instruction videos and behind-the-scenes footage of his airplane home construction. During your stay, you might catch Jon in action—whether he's teaching students, filming new content, or heading out for a scenic flight.
