I just discovered that Julie Vessigault won't be at OSH because she flat-out can't afford to get there. Julie's the special lady that drives cross country to airshows & flyins across America, washing aircraft to pay her way. Julie's not a pilot but she LOVES...
TW Scholarship winner Brittany Reinbolt is barely back from training with Brian Lansburgh at Tailwheel Town but took the time to shoot me this awesome email. What a fantastic declaration about earning her tailwheel endorsement! Thank you Brittany. I particularly loved your very first comment...
Amazing things can happen when goodhearted aviatrixes are involved. I received a message a week ago that a lady taildragger pilot would like to make a donation to our LadiesLoveTaildraggers Scholarship Fund. A whopping $1500 donation! My heart nearly stopped. If it happened, we could...

One of our LadiesLoveTaildraggers' scholarship winners, Brittany Reinbolt, is busy in Oregon working on her tailwheel endorsement. Brittany, from Searcy, Arkansas won our 1st place TW Endorsement Scholarship and, if these pictures are any indication, is having a blast training with Brian Lansburgh at Sister's...
I can't tell you how many airports I've visited in my decades of flying as PIC and passenger, but seems I leave each airport with an unmistakable impression and a new story. As stories go, sometimes it's a crazy final approach - a flat out,...
It's time we start to nail down some meetups for LadiesLoveTaildraggers at AirVenture 2016. I'll be at OSH all week and would love to get as many of us together in one place as possible ...
