Meet Your Pilot

James Young, Pilot, Seattle, WA

James Young is the owner and chief pilot of Seaplane Scenics. James is still just as excited about flying as he was when he received his pilot's license. All while most people were getting a driver's license!

Since acquiring his pilot's license more than 30 years ago, his lifelong passion for flying has grown into a committed inspiration for sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for flying.

Continuing to approach each flight with confidence in his ability, that can only come from years of flight experience, James is able to achieve his goal of giving each passenger a complete sense of comfort and assurance throughout their flight.

James' avid dedication to flying keeps him motivated to continue staying current with the dynamic and ever growing world of aeronautics.  James is a long time native of Seattle and has a great appreciation for the amazing and distinct beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the Emerald City.

"I've been on numerous flight tours, in many different cities, and I must say that I've yet to come across any pilot as outgoing, exuberant, friendly and knowledgeable as James. He is a wealth of information and gives the tour a much-welcomed kick, making the time even more enjoyable than you could have hoped for. James' enthusiasm and level of commitment to his customers are just a few of the many reasons I am constantly referring friends and family to Seaplane Scenics. Do it! You won't regret it!"
