I have always been interested in flying since I was young but the timing just wasn't right. Then about 4 years ago I met my other half, Chuck, who just happened to have a 1940 Taylorcraft. Soon after I started to take instruction at our local airport....
You know it's going to be a great day when a red-hot Supercub taxis into the backyard and pilot Donna Guerin and her friend hop out! It was such a treat to see them and have them join me for a special tour of...
My flight from Indy to Tullahoma, TN turned out to be one bumpy ride yesterday but I had nobody to blame but myself. We all know that if you want smooth air you get up early and get going. Turned out that 11:30 was way...
I'm sad to report we've lost one of our lady taildragger pilots. Elaine Huf and her husband Tom Huf passed away Sunday when their Cessna T-50 'Bamboo Bomber' crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Elaine was well known for her pink 1947 L16-A she...
Did I mention I'm off work next week - all 7 days of it - till Monday, Sept 16?! It's called PTO, "paid time off", the absolute best way to be out of work! My decision to take the week off was rather hastily made....
What more proof do you need that this lady is a TRUE taildragger girl?!! Terri Hull from Indiana not only owns and flies a Cessna 140, she also recently purchased a Hatz bi-plane. Terri says, "Best thing I over heard today is when I stopped in...
Here's an invitation to our lady taildragger pilots. Surely we can muster a couple lady taildraggers to fly in?!! Hi, I am Randy, and my mom was a tail-dragger lady! She used to have ownership in a Citabria in the early 70's. Anyway, I help Ms. Brenda...

I'm totally enjoying myself at Antique Airfield in south central Iowa. You only have to be here a few minutes to know this group loves to fly! There are gorgeous antique aircraft giving rides and circling the field from the time they open the field...
I'm thrilled to say I'm at Antique Airfield this morning! I was delayed in Indy yesterday but managed to rotate around 1:00 for the 4:15 hour flight. The high at Blakesburg yesterday was a sultry 102*. I arrived in time to find most everyone taking...
