Jun 2017 Kendra Helvey (Illinois)
Kendra Helvey is based at C77, Poplar Grove Airport, Illinois.
I got my license in 2003 but have been loving, photographing, painting, riding in and watching airplanes since childhood. I have had the amazing opportunity to ride in, sometimes taking the stick or yoke of some pretty amazing aircraft including a Grumman Goose, Ryan STA, P51, B17, B25, 400 hs Stearman and a C46 among others. I’ve met some wonderful folks including my awesome husband who asked me to marry him at Kitty Hawk NC, and married me on the runway at C77, the airport we live on. Learning to fly was a dream come true. One I never thought could happen. Be careful what you wish for ladies, it may just come true!
