Thanks Dianne for sending us your video. I’m missing out – I’ve never even been up in a glider. Guess the opportunity just hasn’t presented itself yet. It looks like a lot of fun but I think I have a little of that “I want my airplane to have an engine” thing going on too! Like the music choice … “More Than A Feeling”. Judy
“Yes———- the women with the red shirt and tan hat is the one and only Dianne Wieman —– a different type of taildragger!
The pictures are of the AFJROTC group from Boerne, Texas. I did the preflight briefing and the lead instructor (the tall guy in the back seat of several of the pictures) Dave White, and another commercial glider pilot did the rides!” Dianne Wieman from San Antonio.
Tammie made a movie! About flying! About flying a Citabria – from Reid Hillview! Click on the link for a California flight with Tammie. What a great song choice!
“This is the Citabria I fly out of Reid-Hillview. Also, I got married, so I’m Tammie Carswell Searles. It is fun to read about the sister pilots!! Tammie”

Tammie Carswell flies a Pawnee and her PW5 glider out of Crazy Creek (Middletown) and Byron, California.
Tammie and “friend”!
The most frequent flying I do is in my PW5 Glider (N717PW). I also fly the Pawnee towplane at Texas Soaring.
Glider instruction
I’m a CFI Glider, Private and MEL and have been flying since I soloed when I was 14. I obtained most of my tailwheel time in an Aeronca Champ.
Glider flying
I’m currently living in California and flying out of Crazy Creek (Middletown) and Byron, California.

I just watched the WSPA video that Gail made and LOVED it and found this web site. I didn’t know there were so many fun taildragger pilots around! Please let me join your group!
