Kylie Giffin (Arizona)

Nov 2018 Kylie Giffin (Arizona)

Kylie Giffin is based at KSDL, Scottsdale Airport, Scottsdale, Arizona.

I am 23 years old and have wanted to be a pilot since I was 4. I started GA flying at that time with my grandpa in his home-built Challenger II. I am a third degree black belt in TaeKwondo. I currently work as a scheduler in a part 91/part 135 department while finishing up my flight training. My goal is over the next two months to finish up Commercial AMEL and get my tailwheel endorsement. In the spring I plan to get my ASES add-on.

Ratings: Private, Instrument Airplane, Commercial, ASEL, about to take Commercial AMEL.

Aircraft flown: Cessna 172, Challenger II Experimental, Arrows, Warriors, King Airs, Citations, Twin Tecnam

Dream taildragger: Piper J-3 Cub

Thoughts on taildragging: I think they invoke the most nostalgic parts and memories of flying. I have fond memories of watching STOL competitions with my grandpa at a young age.
