New Taildragger Pilot: Loree Hirschman
Jul 01 2011Congratulations to Loree Hirschman who added tailwheel skills to her repertoire. Loree was a Naval Aviator, flying F-18s and S-3s off carriers in the Persian Gulf, and then switched to civilian life, but she still loves flying and being a pilot. We are delighted that she chose us to get her tailwheel training.
Loree and Zdravko
Loree also has her own Web site and check out also Youtube for some videos of flying in the Gulf. That’s her in the S-3 waving on the F-18 driver.

Jimmy soloes
Congratulations to Jimmy Shih who flew a Citabria solo for the first time after being let loose by his instructor Rimas.
Jimmy is already an acomplished pilot, and he wanted to add taildragging to his skills because his next flying ambition is aerobatics.
Go Jimmy!

Jun 03 2011Andrea is working on her instrument rating and decided that taming a taildragger would make a nice break.

Not only did she tame a taildragger in two thirds of average time, but then she also took on some aerobatics. Well done Andrea and AeroDynamic CFI Mark Guerrero.
