Hi All,
I'm looking to obtain my FAA ASES Rating on my CPL, and have come across three possible places to do this, but can't tell them apart: Jack Brown's, Jones Brothers, and Adventure Seaplanes.
I'd be grateful if anyone with any experience of any of these provide some feedback please?
Thanks very much.

I did mine at Jack Browns and go back and fly with them at least once a year. Managed a couple of hundred hours over there. Brilliant set up and a great atmosphere.
I added it as a Commercial Rating to my FAA certificate and then did the same back in the UK doing the commercial exam at Gatwick. I am now an EASA seaplane examiner in my own right and it all goes back to the great training at Jack Browns.

Permit me to suggest one other alternative.
Home - Alaska Float Ratings (http://alaskafloatratings.com)
Located in Moose Pass, AK in the middle of Alaska's Kenai Mountains, you'll receive not only excellent training by bush pilot types in a Super Cub, you'll also get a mountain flying course by nature of the location. Excellent in all regards. I did mine in 1998. No regrets.
