LadiesLoveTaildraggers' Is Trying Hard To Raise $2,950 For Scholarships

The LadiesLoveTaildraggers' is trying to put together a scholarship program that will allow one female nosewheel pilot to earn her tailwheel endorsement, and one female tailwheel pilot to complete a Stick & Rudder Master Class. The goal is to award two scholarships to two well-deserving, passionate aviatrixes!

The organization, LadiesLoveTaildraggers (LLT), may be the new kid on the block when it comes to women’s flying organizations, but their membership numbers are quickly growing. The group was started about 7 short years ago by Judy Birchler of Indianapolis, IN, with the purpose of meeting and connecting other like-minded ladies who love to fly taildraggers.
 
In an email, Judy said funding is especially needed this year. Their scheduled 2015 LLT fly-in at Sulphur Springs, TX had to be canceled when a tornado hit the KSLR airport.  Added to that, they had a poker run event planned that also had to be canceled. These events were intended to help fund the scholarship.

Judy said, “The 2016 Scholarship winners will receive training in a Cessna 140. All instruction for one of the two courses has again been donated by Brian Lansburgh at Tailwheel Town, a value of $950. But, we still need to raise funds for our scholarship winners to get to and from Sister's Airport in Oregon, pay basic expenses, and cover the second class.”

Judy added, “By donating to the LadiesLoveTaildraggers Scholarship Fund you will be supporting both women nosewheel & tailwheel pilots. There's no better way to show your commitment to the advancement of women pilots, and help spread the LadiesLoveTaildraggers mission which is to encourage women everywhere to have fun flying taildraggers!"

Scholarship applications will be available online as soon as funding is received. Judy said they are not limited to just two scholarships though. The more donations they receive, the more scholarships LLT can provide!
