ORIGINAL: TakingFlight96

It all started about a couple years ago when I was 11 or so ; it was the local clubs fun fly and I didn't know what to expect. My mom was working so, my dad took my sister and I out there. Before the day was over I became curious of how they worked and the controls of it. It was the day my dads Extra 300 went in, a mistake I now learned from. So, anyway that summer, I went out to the field a lot and helped him out. One club meeting I decided I'd get me a plane and join the club/AMA. Me being a 12 year old girl in a club of guys/older gentlemen, I got dirty looks, laughs, and some very rude comments when I first started out. Now, after 9 months at 1-2 hours a day on the sim, I'm soloed up, doing aerobatics, and I've got my first 2 warbirds just finished up. What my signature says is true, and everytime I fly, I'm proving to others that I can fly and I do know what I'm doing when it comes to airplanes.

Doll baby, if this post isn't BS I'm so proud of you I could burst![sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=kiss.gif] I would be PROUD to be your dad. I'm going to call you Rosie The Riveter. Fifty years ago you would have been flying B-17s across the pond to our boys in England. Today you'd be flyin' one over Berlin. Heck no, you'd be escortin' the 17s in your P-51. Patty Wagstaff, look out!
