The day I met Wally Wogenstahl I had other things to do. I finally had an 8 hour block of time, morning through afternoon, and was going to spend it working on my laptop, sitting quietly at my kitchen table with the blinds closed. I...
I get excited when I hear about a woman, any woman, owning a Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser. I get downright giddy when I hear from a woman who has owned FIVE! Â Many thanks to Mary Build for sharing her story with LadiesLoveTaildraggers. [caption id="attachment_39930" align="alignleft" width="280"]...
I'm busy posting photos all the time, but my most favorite are the ones that prove ladies really do LOVE to fly taildraggers. You are one awesome group of gals who continually inspire me! My hope is that posting pictures of women flying and having...
