Sally Canning (New Mexico)

Sally Canning is based at Tuscon Valley Ranch, New Mexico. 600 hours in a Citabria; 400 hours in a Maule. I fly a taildragger because that is all I have ever known and because of our ranching. I don’t gather cattle with the plane but prefer to keep the plane at home. I live far enough away it is more convenient to fly to town (and a lot more fun). For many years we had several ranches and th... Read More »

Stephanie Stephenson is based at KEIK, Erie Municipal Airport, Erie, Colorado. Well, I grew up in a Cessna 195 – the rest is history! My husband was/is my flight instructor, which is how we met.

Stefanie Spencer (Arizona)

Stefanie Spencer is based at E95, Benson Municipal Airport, Benson, Arizona. I’m not sure when my love for flight began, but building model airplanes with my Dad when I was young might have sparked my interest.  I remember later on, maybe when I was 10 yrs. old or so, being admonished, “Flying is only for rich people, and we are not rich.”  I might have put my dreams of flying as...

Priscilla Repton (Colorado)

Priscilla Repton is based at 6K5, Sisters Eagle Air Airport, Sisters, Oregon. I started having an interest in flying about a year ago. I told my husband I wanted to learn to fly and he thought it was a great idea. So, we decided a Taildragger would be the best plane to learn in because it would be the hardest and if I had to fly anything else it would make it easier. I also love the look of taildr...
