Alaska Floats & Skis

Matt is a salt of the earth guy who would and has helped others at the drop of a hat. A tragic, stark reminder that none of us are invincible. Please keep this family in your prayers as they navigate the days ahead.

Matt Punt ( pilot seat) was critically injured in a catastrophic plane crash and was transferred from Anchorage to Harborview Medical Center’s regional burn unit in Seattle. He sustained severe burns over 60% of his body along with other traumatic injuries, including a broken leg requiring surgery.

The next few days ahead are critical. Doctors expect Matt to face a long and difficult road involving extensive burn care, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and months of recovery in Seattle.

As Brittney walks through this unimaginable season, she is also navigating the challenges of caring for and homeschooling their three boys back home in Alaska while traveling between Wasilla and Seattle to support Matt’s care.

Matt came and helped us when our house burned down.
He is the real deal.

Alaska Floats and Skis had the privilege to be a part of a very special proposal. This is the good stuff…

is back in the 907 and having a blast with this amazing weather doing mountain flying in Tigress! Nothing quite like learning to fly in the mountains and stopping for a break at a remote mountain lake in the float plane! ✈️ ❤️😎

Congratulations, Michael! First float rating of the season! 🎊
