We’re pilots. If you’re reading this article and not a pilot, I can pretty much guarantee you have dreams of becoming one. If you don’t fit into the “I’m a Pilot” group or the “Wanna Be Pilot” group, I
I have a Love/Hate relationship with my newest “instrument”. I’ve recently experienced a monumental change in my life. The change is an “instrument” I keep close to my heart and, more specifically, my belly 24/7. The pur
Escaping the Coronavirus Status Quo isn’t easy but I’m hell bent on trying. Turns out on our current trip to the welcoming state of South Dakota, we’re not alone. In fact far from it. People experiencing the great outdoors surround
I tested negative for the Coronavirus antibody a week ago, and yet Covid-19 is still getting the best of me. Physically, I’m great and healthy as ever. Mentally, the isolation and lack of interesting life options is depressing as heck. Add to t
In recent days, we lost a favorite friend, Erissa Yong-Wilson, in a tragic Cessna 140 accident. Erissa was killed and her 21 year old female passenger was airlifted to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries. The accident occurred at an abandone
Any pilot can legally fly the Idaho backcountry, whether they are up to the task or not. You can know diddly-squat about mountain flying, density altitude or short, one-way strips but, with a big enough head and some over-confidence, pilots are perfe
Keep up on the happenings at Ladies Love Taildraggers
“The Ladies Love Taildraggers website and Facebook page kept me going whilst I was working on my tailwheel endorsement in my Luscombe. I had just earned my Private Pilot’s License when my mother and brother both took ill. Reading the posts was the encouragement I needed to keep at it. It is so great to share flying adventures with like minded ladies!” Lisa Kienholz, Luscombe 8E, N2660K
“I love how Ladies Love Taildraggers brings together accomplished, novice and even aspiring female taildragger pilots. We all have something to learn from and share with one another. This truly is a special group and I’m so honored to be a part of it.” Katie Pribyl, Cessna 180, N7622A
“Thank you for all you do for women in aviation. You are an inspiration for us all!!” Debbie Cheney
“I really enjoy the ladieslovetaildraggers.com website. Reading about other female pilots, the ability to find places to stay – and new friends – when traveling via my own taildragger…it’s a great website. The website speaks for itself!”Arty Trost, Talon Typhoon, Oregon
“Thank you, Judy Birchler, for creating a haven which asks nothing from its members but that you support and celebrate your fellow lady tailwheel pilots! Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that group?!” Andrea Eldridge, California
“I wish this site had been around back in the 80s and 90s when I was flying. It was hard to find other lady taildragger pilots and stay connected. Ladies Love Taildraggers is a fun and vibrant group, and even though I don’t fly any longer, I support their mission wholeheartedly!” Theresa Berthelsdorf, N89658
“This is a terrific group of ladies. I so enjoy keeping up on FaceBook and am appreciative of the support given to old, new and aspiring pilots. I REALLY love my taildragger.” Nancy Pierce, Midget Mustang
I'm thrilled to announce LadiesLoveTaildraggers will receive up to $4000 in a matching grant program from the EAA’s Women Soar Society. The Society will match dollar for dollar funds raised by LadiesLoveTaildraggers. 100% of Donations will provide tailwheel training scholarships to women pilot.

Tell us about your trip!
It maybe coming quickly to a non-starter. My landing skills are not coming back as well as I hoped. I may have to hire a ferry pilot. Going from KOKV to L00, VA to CA.
My father is a retired cfii dfe. I learned to fly in the 1969 to 1973 time period from my father with getting my PPL in January 1974. I didn’t have much time to fly after getting my license. I have flown over the years with my father in the right/rear seat, but the last time I flew solo with my license was in 1975 when I flew a Piper Tripacer from Leesburg va to Blacksburg va and return to check out VA Tech as a possible college. Well, today I soloed again. 3 Full stop 3 point landings in the grass in the above airplane.
Is that a Piper PA-15?
47 PA-11

I’m back! The last two years I fell out of flying. Like any love affair, it has its ups and down. Life just got in the way.
Yesterday I got my moxie back! Felt that familiar feeling and remembered why I fell for it the first time.
Come visit me at 2B6 Hollister Field near Wilmington, OH. Shoot, Hunt, stay the night...!
Here’s to enjoying fall flying!!! ❤️❤️

Finally getting back in the air tomorrow, I am stoked! Any girls got any good tips for sporadic flyers? My CFI usually has a good agenda for us, but if there's any suggestions from people who have had experience going weeks between lessons, I'd love to have some ideas to bring to the table.
Oh, and this stamp is TOTALLY gonna be my next tattoo lol ... See MoreSee Less

I want to thank Ladies Love Taildraggers and Blue River Aviation for the opportunity to visit and fly in Alaska. The trip worked out better than I could have ever imagined. I completed my float plane rating! It was the trip of a lifetime with more than one surprise. I am now engaged <3. I am so grateful for the experience and still awestruck. What a wild and beautiful place to fly. A a big thanks to Judy Birchler, you are such an amazing woman creating a platform for women to bond, have fun and push each other to achieve our dreams. So much love for all of you and happy flying ladies! ... See MoreSee Less

Way to go kiddo! Proud of you!
Congratulations on both accounts. Flying and encampment
I love Alaska flying. So glad you got to experience it!
This brings back so many wonderful memories!
ConGRATulations on both!
Congratulations on your rating and engagement!!! Thanks for sharing!
Love every bit of this ❤️🤘
This is amazing! Congrats!
Congratulations on so many counts!!
That makes me so homesick!! <3
Great pics, congratulations all the way around !!
Congratulations! You did it! But now I’m curious about the subplot: did you already know this guy or did you find him in the back woods of Alaska or hanging out in a hangar turning a wrench? Not everybody gets a fiancé and a ring when they get their float rating! How’d you get such an upgrade to your trip?

I just had this drawn. I love it and wanted to share. Great gift idea. (I can post here because my S.O. isn't in this group.) 🙂
