ALASKAN BACK COUNTRY

Hi, my name is Ty Christensen and my wife, Kristen, and I started Northern Peaks Flight Training. I absolutely love flying small bush planes in our amazing state and truly enjoy sharing my passion with others. I have been flying super cubs in Alaska since I was a kid. I still remember how it felt to fly solo in a super cub along side my dad and brother like it was yesterday. The thrill of seeing the moose, bears, and fish from high above got me hooked on bush flying at a young age. In those early years of flying with my dad and other great pilots, I was mentored along my aviation pathway. I obtained my advanced ratings and for several years have flown for renowned bush pilot and master guide, Sam Fejes. Flying for Sam has been a fun and exciting way to use my skills and also enjoy what I love. My goal as an instructor and mentor is to help others develop the skills and judgment needed to safely explore the Alaskan backcountry. I have an easy going personality that helps put students at ease and be comfortable in an airplane which I feel helps them learn in a pleasant learning environment. I have logged thousands of hours in super cubs and truly believe I have the ability to help you fulfill your dreams of becoming a proficient backcountry pilot.
