The day I got my tailwheel endorsement in 2010 or 2011.

I am married to pilot hubby Doc Charles Tucker and we enjoy aviation together.Â I’ve been a pilot for 7 years, living in Waterproof, LA, and we own a Texan AT6F, Stearman biplane and a Cessna Skylane.

On a P51 ride I got to fly, loop and roll.

Thoughts on taildragging: My husband bought our 450 Stearman in 2007 and sparked my wanting to “learn to land it” which pushed me into getting my pilot license. This started my love for taildraggers. I got my tailwheel endorsement in a Citabria and have time in a 200 Stearman and J3 Cub.
