We had the great pleasure of having a great photographer, Anthony Cruz, take some pictures of us and C180JL while on the playa last weekend! Was a pleasure to finally meet him 💕. photogp80

Sometimes I forget I live by the ocean. I love my mountains, but I think the ocean feeds my soul most of all 🌊💙
My commute to work today (shooting a wedding in Homer, Alaska) gave me the opportunity to spend a little more time in the cute little Taylorcraft I got my tailwheel endorsement in. No shortage on the views.

"Sometimes following your heart means losing your mind." The heart can lead you on a wild journey but isn't that what makes life so interesting?
Here's a shoutout to my home airport, the one that made me an aviatrix, Winchester Regional (KOKV)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll never forget soloing on my 16th birthday via runway 32, making three laps around the pattern, then having my dad, who was my flight instructor, cut my shirttail, a decades-old solo tradition!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I went to the DMV the next day to take my driver's test.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, they didn't buy into my plea that I could fly an airplane by myself so why should I have to take a driver's test?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was humbling getting my tailwheel rudder feet back. And quite a trip down memory lane. Thank you KOKV for the memories!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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.
Flew the 180 up to Montana to celebrate with my niece, Hailey, for being named Student of the Year! What a great reason to hop into an airplane!

Need new avionics?? Met some great peeps at Gulf Coast Avionics today, including owner Rick Garcia. Walked away with a little gift on my head too! 💯 Thank you!!
The 180 looks mighty fine out on my family’s land in Eastern Montana.

Idaho to California. Bringing our new toy home. Soon to be #tailwheelpilot #piperpacer #tailwheel #femalepilot #adventure #pilotcouple cali_av8r #ladieslovetaildraggers
With one goal complete I'm setting my sights on the next. Starting to work toward my night rating in November. I'm not sure why but I've never had the desire to fly at night. Maybe it has to do with the added risk and the fact that I felt I needed to be a better pilot before taking it on. Feeling ready for this next step. Bring it on!
Finally back in a cub! Oh how I missed it. 😍

As part of my time spent south of the 49th parallel I will be spending 5 days in San Antonio to complete my tailwheel endorsement. So grateful to have been chosen as a recipient of the Ladies Love Taildraggers award and can't wait to pay it forward one day when I'm able. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be staying with a lovely woman named Dianne who is a CFI and has volunteered her time and airplane to support women in aviation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can't wait to meet Dianne, Learn about tailwheel aircraft and venture through the great state of Texas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep posted on the next 2 weeks because they will be adventure packed.
Smiling because I get to go flying ✈️🎉

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!
