Our roving reporter, Chris Buckely, has achieved something newsworthy yet again. The local aviatrix, call sign pink flamingo, has earned her tailwheel endorsement!! Buckley is quickly becoming what some might call a legend here at GBA. Next up for her is CFI! Awesome job Buckley!! #greatbasinaviation #tailwheel #citabria #aviatrix #womeninaviation #ninetynine #reno #flyreno #aviation #aviationlovers #ladieslovetaildraggers #pinkflamingo #learntofly

My Papa. My first airplane ride was sitting on the smoker in his spray plane when I was 7 years old (As you may have read recently in Canadian Aviator Magazine😊). Adventure is his middle name.
What do people normally say... “low quality photo, high quality time”? Well getting to fly aerobatic maneuvers in an Extra 300 was EXTRA high quality flying!!
My kind of fun. 🤗❤️🐻 Enjoying a few extra days playing at home, working on my Tailwheel Flying (still a lot to learn) and got my little pit bike out... This was my 1st bike Dad got me when I was in Middle school, after a little TLC it’s running great and just as fun. .

Ooooooooh Baby did that feel great!!! Pumpkin carrying me through the finish with everyone behind 🙂 We had perfect conditions; light winds, calm air, and Pumpkin consistently pulls away from the pack while still on the runway. I found out five minutes after landing they were Disqualifying me for low flying on the backside of the course (crop-dusting habits die hard apparently), but as frustrating as that is I will never forget my first pull up from home pylon knowing Pumpkin was First 😁 Who wants to win their first race anyway? That would just be cocky. 🤣

4 more months! I couldn’t be happier than to be having a little girl with the stunner juliamathers . Beautiful, caring, smart, and extremely hard working, Julia will be the best mom! And the best part is the little one will arrive in time for the premier of Top Gun: Maverick. #itsreallyhappening #becauseiwasinverted #babyannouncement #gopro #aerobatics #vansaircraft #aviation #flying #vansrv #ladieslovetaildraggers #goproaviation #topgunmaverick #instaaviation #goprohero7black

Today I flew a tailwheel legend ❤️ One of the highest compliments I’ve received was when Dick told me he would fly with me (AKA he trusted ME enough to take him up in the cub and not kill him! 😱) So for a year now, I’ve been practicing and waiting to muster up enough confidence to actually take him up on this offer! Today was the perfect bluebird day and I had no more excuses. So I womaned up, threw the old man in, and took off! We had a blast doing aerial maneuvers and I only had one shoddy landing! 😅 Watch out world, Confident Flight Instructor Hailey is comin’ through! 🤘🏼😉 #CFI #tailwheel #tailwheelpilot #j3cub #aviatrix #mentors #flyfamily #womeninaviation #aviatrixlife #inspireothers #whyifly #ladieslovetaildraggers

Please submit a maximum of three original, unpublished haiku or short poems before March 31, 2021. Send them to pilots.haiku@gmail.com in an attached Word document. Include your name, city and country, and current flying assignment.

I was fortunate enough to buy my first taildragger, a Champ, with partners in the summer of 2019. A couple weeks ago, some friends and I formed a company and bought a T-6! Its pretty cold in Ohio, but it was totally worth bundling up to go flying today. Now to learn how to fly it...thank goodness my husband is a CFI! ... See MoreSee Less

Wow! A Champ to a T-6... what a change!
You are so Blessed!! 😎🌴
Awesome! You can do it! I started out in a J3 Cub. Within two years of getting my Private, I had soloed my T-6 and currently give rides in it. Good luck to you!
Kayla Jane Fairchild
Congrats!! T-6s are the best!!
Wow!!! Someday i hope to have a radial taildragger 😊
I've got 45 minutes of dual in an SNJ in my log. Most fun I've ever had flying.
Have fun! It’s big and noisy, but remember, as my Harvard Instructor told me, ‘it’s just an aeroplane’!
ENJOY!!! Congrats! 😀
Congratulations. It is a big fat cub! Have fun!
I sent you a PM! 🙂 just a heads up!
