I currently fly Learjets and King Airs for an air ambulance company but for fun I rent a Decathlon, although I’m taking a break currently to save up for a Pitts that I can use in competition. I have a lot of time in a Stearman, Piper Cub and various Cessna taildraggers.

Champ N7569E pilot, Judy, and willing adventure seeker (& sister), Karen, want to share a few pictures we snapped. We spent 2 fun days together flying what seems like “all over” Indiana, Illinois and even a little Missouri . We tallied up 10 hours 35 minutes of flight time visiting 7 airports, zipping along at speeds as low as 63 mph all the way to a not too shabby 106 mph. The goal was “don’t rush, just fly and have fun” and we sure did.
FYI, we’ve got a ladies flyout coming up soon. Check out the link and send an email if you’d like to join us – only requirement, you’re a lady with a taildragger!!

Saturday, Sept. 5: Ray & Judy Johnson hosted the Fly/In Drive/In (for the 19th time) and if you were there, you know it was a great time and a beautiful day. I flew the Champ in with my very relaxed husband looking for traffic from the rear. A very generous resident pilot and owner of a large hangar provided a BBQ dinner on Friday night for all the earlybirds like us, the B-17 crew, and the Pulse owners & enthusiasts. (if you know who this guy is send me a note so I can post here and thank him). Friday evening was clear and calm and several of us were up buzzing around having fun and giving rides.

They’re pointing to the HOT PINK www.LadiesLoveTaildraggers.com sign hanging on my prop!!
I sure wish I had aerial photos of all the airplanes, Pulses, cars & people to show you but here are a few photos snapped on Saturday.

I can't imagine how many pancakes they made!
