Colleen McKeage is based at KJAQ, Westover Field / Amador County Airport, Jackson, California. Shortly after receiving my Private license about 10 years ago, I obtained a Cessna 170A, N5416C. She was in pieces and had sat for many years waiting for someone to put her back in the air! After 7 months of work inclusive of new interior, a major overhaul of the engine back to factory new specs, and muc... Read More »

“I don’t have the nerve to land”

“I don’t have the nerve to land”

A woman registered recently on LadiesLoveTaildraggers and her honesty caught me off guard. She didn’t beat around the bush or try and water it down and make excuses; she was just really honest and wrote, “I don’t have the nerve to land.” Wow, now that’s REAL. She loves to fly but the act of landing the airplane is just too scary for her. Coming from a long history wit... Read More »

Tammy Farrell is based at PASX, Soldotna Airport, Soldotna, Alaska. We are living in a small cabin and all of my “taildragger” pictures are packed away in a connex and under about 2+ feet of snow. My favorite was a 7ECA Citabria N5506C, but we sold it and it went to Miami, FL. I have most of my taildragger time in a Cessna 170, 2930D, that we also sold.  Now I fly a 210hp C175 and we a...

Brandi Terkeurst (Alabama)

Brandi Terkeurst is based at  Moontown Airport, 3M5, located just east of Huntsville, Alabama. My name is Brandi and I fly out of a small grass strip in northern Alabama called Moontown. I blame my grandfather for getting aviation in my blood (I thank him all the time). He flew bombers in WWII and owned several aircraft over the years. I only remember flying with him once, so I didn’t grow up arou... Read More »
