Just a girl and her plane. 🥰 . I gave flights to a bunch of small-town, college bound, high school scholarship recipients, and then spoke to them about national security issues, leadership, and life advice. The flying was to give them a new experience, expand their horizons, and be a special memory of this time at their camp. It was a joy to share this bird with them, none of whom had been in a small plane before. The discussions with them were, for me, perhaps more fulfilling because I am filled with hope for our future. These are amazing young people who want to use their talents to make our world better- and I know they are not a minority of their generation. We all owe the world our talents, to leave things better than we found them, to mentor and invest in others, to serve. It might not be a major gesture, but every day we should take a step to give forward. . #giveforward #payitforward #stearman #stearmanbiplane #biplane #avgeek #goalgetter #minutemanairfield #stowmassachusetts #fearlessfemale #aviatrix #aviatrixlife #ladieslovetaildraggers #badasswomen #femaleempowerment #shecan #makeitbetter #instaaviation #flywithme #comeflywithme #goafteryourdreams #highvibes #positivityiskey

When nosewheel pilots joke about taildragger pilots having their nose in the air, I always assumed it was metaphorical. I just realized maybe they mean it literally. 😆 . . #taildragger #iamwai #womeninaviation #ladieslovetaildraggers #instaaviation #aviationdaily #aviatrixlife #aviatrix #planesofinstagram #instaplane #atomicpumpkinairracing

Testimonials

Lisa Kienholz

“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

Katie Pribyl

“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

Debbie Cheney

“Thank you for all you do for women in aviation. You are an inspiration for us all!!” Debbie Cheney

Arty Trost

“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

Andrea Eldridge

“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

Theresa Berthelsdorf

 “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

Nancy Pierce

“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
