Marykate Bayer is based at (LL10) Naper Aero Club Airport, Naperville, Illinois.

Marykate's 1947 Cessna 140

My husband and I own 4 taildraggers between us. I married my husband for his 1955 Cessna 180, but pretended I didn’t as I negotiated the purchase of my 1947 Cessna 140 the evening before our wedding day. I intended to sell the C140 in a year or two – but 15 years later it is still in the “fleet”.

-

We bought our first plane together – the Fleet 10F – in order to enjoy the round engine experience (Warner 145). And we’ve also acquired a Smith Miniplane from a friend.
Someday we will sell the Fleet and C140, and I will find a Baby Ace or Rose Parakeet so that I have an open cockpit to putt around in while my husband is out in the Miniplane!!!

-

You can never have enough planes when there are two pilots in the family…like your cars:
The SUV (Cessna 180), the Volkswagon (Cessna 140) and the convertible MG (the Fleet biplane)…doesn’t everyone have their multi-use cars??!!

I am enclosing pictures of recent ‘first solo’ celebrations of a few of my students. I love photography and try my best to capture it all for the students because they tend to remember the day they flew solo for the first ever time in an aircraft much more vividly than any other achievement. (I remember mine like it happened yesterday and have looked at my first solo album several times ever since! ) I think the instructor is just as elated as the student is to watch him/her fly that one solo circuit! 

An absolutely gorgeous morning at Komatipoort!!

*

First solo take off by Liam, my youngest student. (aged 18)

*

Liam's first solo celebrations. (Liam's dad is my instructor that gave me my tail-wheel endorsement. He wanted his son to train under me.)

*

Solo hugs!

*

Very very well deserved! Liam and his instructor.

*

Other students celebrating! Always nice to see happy faces!

Happy flying!

Sending lots of cheer and sunshine your way! 

“Take a flight with the Women Soaring Pilot’s Association. Bring your hat and sunscreen.” This is a short 2:16 video – with a kick. You’ll love it!!
