I have wanted to fly ever since I could remember. Mighty Mouse inspiration!!!
When I started to fly in 1992, one thing or another got in the way. Just after I started the PA 12 I was learning and  it groundlooped…nope..not me!!!(: Anyway, I finally got my license in 94. What an amazing experience!!! To me, flying a taildragger is the way to go. I love how it handles, I love stick & rudder. There is such a romance to getting in, putting your feet on those rudders, yank back on the stick….it give me shivers thinking about it.
I absolutly loved this plane!!! Wish I could still fly it. The man was my instructor and dearest friend. He was an amazing pilot. Ravalli County Airport has not been the same since his passing.
I worked for my instructor for a number of years afterwards in hopes of gettimg my commercial. He unfortunatly passed away and my flying days were down to the bare minimum. I look forward to the day I can fly again. It was so inspiring to me to see Ladies Love Taildraggers. Wahoo!!! A group of women after my own heart!!!! Love it.
