After moving from Florida to Alaska, flight instructor Jon Kotwicki decided to create the ultimate flight school – inside a converted cargo plane! In 2022, his dream became a reality when he bought an old Douglas DC-6, dating back to 1956. Jon’s original plan sounded simple enough.

He wanted to start his own flight school, where his students could learn to fly during the day and stay in on-site lodges at night. “I wanted to have a proper runway and cabins for them to live in, but I didn't want to stop there,” Jon told Business Insider. “I started thinking, instead of cabins, what if my students could live in an airplane? I knew that would be much cooler.” And he wasn't wrong!
