Here's an interesting  story out of Helena, Montana that proves the power of one young girl's voice. This weekend, Helena celebrated the 1911 flight of a 19 year old boy named Cromwell Dixon across the Great Divide.  The day may have passed unnoticed by the...
Talk about how a chance meeting can change a person's life, here's a story about how an entire family's lives were changed. At the heart is Susan Theodorelos & Andy Heins' passion for flying and their wish to share it with everyone. Susan sent us...
Oh, I love this one Lisa! You and Wendy and Victoria flying out for a  girl's flying/camping weekend in Colorado -- all of you in your own Cubs --- you're the envy of all of us. Beautiful Cubs, wonderful adventures, great fun! Good one girls!! [caption...

To the Kiwi chapter girls - you are looking GOOD in those t-shirts!! We all love Neroli, Bill and the girls and want to welcome you all to our fun little group. I have to say, that's one fine looking line up of taildraggers in...
