Today, I made the little girl in the second picture really really proud. [FYI it’s me circa 2001!] π

Also, I want to give the BIGGEST thank you to Captain Paul (@learntailwheel) + Cody (@swashbuckler_) for being the best instructors I could have ever asked for—it’s been a privilege to learn from you. Not only did you make each flight more fun than the last, but the stick and rudder skills you taught me will stick with me (...no pun intended) through all of the flights I have yet to take...and all of the flying memories I have yet to make.

The adventure has only just begun! βοΈπ€

Atley got her first intro ride in the front seat. She’s 6 years old and by the look on her face I think we may have ruined any chance of her being a desk jockey when she grows up #citabria #womeninaviation #womenwhofly #tailwheel #taildragger #kidsinaviation

FIRST SOLO!!!!!!
Tonight I was up flying in 3KM (a 7GCBC Citabria) with my flight instructor, Paul, (@learntailwheel) and after a few of our landings, he told me to taxi over to the fuel pump. When I stopped, heard him unbuckle his seatbelt, open the door, and climb out of the airplane from the backseat...I realized very quickly we weren’t there to get fuel.
To be quite frank, I did NOT feel ready, but Paul was confident that I was. Honestly, I don’t think any of us ever feel 100% ready to take risks in pursuit of our dreams. When I taxied away...sweating a little bitπ
...I remembered the 40% Rule and my nerves subsided.
I learned about the 40% Rule in @davidgoggins’ book, “Can’t Hurt Me.” It basically says that when we feel like we’ve reached our limit (or our minds tell us to feel fearful and insecure)—we’re only tapping in to about 40% of what we actually can do.
My flying journey hasn’t exactly followed a linear track, but I’m so thankful for all of the experiences I’ve had that led me to exactly where I am supposed to be. I never thought I’d be doing my first solo EVER in a tailwheel. (!!!)
Tonight showed me that we’re all capable of SO MUCH MORE than we think we are—but we will never know just how much until we get out of our comfort zones.
Thank you, @learntailwheel! I’m so excited to keep learning!
