Katie Mullins is based at Hartselle-Morgan County Regional Airport, Hartselle, Alabama. My husband completed his private pilot’s license in December 2011, and took me up for a ride as his first passenger, which was only my 2nd time ever being in a small plane. I immediately started asking questions about what the different gauges did and what he was doing. After kindly answering several of m... Read More »
Bonnie Johnson is based at 3KS5, High Point Airport, Valley Center, Kansas. My engagement ring was a 1946 Luscombe 8A (N71718). After marrying my husband I learned to fly “Fairlady”. I soloed her just before my 30th birthday. My checkride with the Luscombe was 6 months later. I have over 500 hours in her. Sad to say I had to sell her. However, my taildragger time has not ended. I now f... Read More »

Ladies Do Love Taildraggers even on floats?” “It is basically a PA-1... Read More »

I went on flying Cessna... Read More »

Lane Davis is based at (KPDK) DeKalb Peachtree Airport, Atlanta, Georgia and sent in this wonderful pilot update! 2 Years ago, learning to fly in a 1946 JR Piper Cub, with my dad as my instructor It’s funny to think back to when I first signed up for Ladies Love Taildraggers: I made my page, wrote a blurb, and sent in a few pictures, and never wrote again. I had to remember to bring a camera... Read More »
Jessie Fisher, formerly from Crest Airpark, Kent, Washington has relocated and is based at Bulverde Airpark in the San Antonio, Texas area.

However, both my parents’ hearts belonged to the classic L... Read More »
