Update April 11, 2011
Dee Holm has been flying nosedraggers since 2002, but things have changed and she’s having fun now! Â Congratulations to Dee on her brand new taildragger endorsement!
New taildragger pilot, Dee Holm, looking good in her Ladies Love Taildraggers t-shirt!
“Hi there. Now I can say that I am a taildragger pilot! Â The 26 hours during three months interrupted by bouts of bronchitis were well worth it. Â I am totally hooked and can’t wait for my next solo ride to see if I can better my first three landings.”
Dee had a great airplane to get her endorsement in – a Super Cub
“My instructor had more confidence in me than I did myself–he let me go with 9 kt crosswinds 50 degrees off the runway heading. Â The only glitch was I had to follow a high-wing student pilot flying B-52 patterns with 1 mile finals!!! Â That’s not easy power out at the numbers 🙂 Â Just such an exhilarating feeling landing a three wheel stance all by myself and I must admit scary too. Â If I win the lottery, I know what plane I will buy–a SuperCub. Â Just hope my husband doesn’t mind that our Kitfox IV is my second choice :)”

“In case you are wondering, the weather in Chandler, AZ was great! Â My thanks to Chandler Air Service and Greg Stafford for such great instruction. Â Note the Tee!
See you in the sky,”

I’ve been flying since 2002, mostly Cessna nosedraggers. I just started taildragger lessons in SuperCubs. Now I know why it’s better to learn first in a taildragger–every other GA plane is less demanding and perhaps a little boring. Someday I’d like to fly our Kitfox IV Speedster!
I’m a 99 and member of the Phoenix Chapter. Â I will be passing this blog on to other 99s I know.

Posted at 20:53h, 20 MarchHi Dee. I’m hoping to fly down there in the next month. My folks snowbird in Sun City Grande. I was actually looking at flying into Glendale. I need to do some checking. I hear there is a good aerobatic program around there somewhere close. I’d really like to get few hours in a Pitts as part of my “life long learner” program.
