Lola Reid Allin is a trailblazing commercial pilot, author, and advocate for women in aviation. Her journey from a bullied wife to soaring the skies is a testament to resilience and self-empowerment. Breaking free from an abusive marriage, Lola pursued her passion for flying in the 1980s, a time when women made up only 4% of commercial pilots. Defying societal norms, she became a symbol of courage and determination in a male-dominated industry. Through her memoir, HIGHWAY to the SKY, and her work with organizations like the Northern Lights Aero Foundation and the Ninety-Nines, Lola inspires women to challenge barriers, embrace their potential, and navigate life's turbulence with confidence. Her story is not just about flying but about rising above adversity and leading others to their own skies.

In the lead up to Season 10 we're reviving some of our favorite episodes. Today we bring you Emily's favorite, The Ninety-Nines. It took a certain amount of pure grit to be a pilot in the early days of aviation – and even more for the women who had to defy convention just to get up in the air.  And if you're thinking the only aviatrix was Amelia Earhart – think again. She was just one of a daring group of women aviators who were walking on wings, flying under bridges, breaking altitude records, and racing across the country – in the 1920s! Join Emily, Matt, and Nick as they explore the history of the Ninety-Nines, the organization of women pilots originally led by Earhart and still active today. Documentary-maker Heather Taylor sets the scene of the thrilling and dangerous first Women's National Air Derby in 1929. And Emily discovers an amazing view in her first non-commercial flight (in a tiny four-seater!) with modern-day Ninety-Nine Judy Shaw.Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter

In honor of Flag Day this week, I decided to make an episode about something written in honor of the flag of the United States of America--The Star Spangled Banner. Why was it written and when was it officially adopted as out national anthem? And, as always, I have three great additional history stories that go along with the famous date.

Amelia Mary Earhart (/ˈɛərhɑːrt/ AIR-hart; born July 24, 1897; declared dead January 5, 1939) was an American aviation pioneer. On July 2, 1937, Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world. During her life, she embraced celebrity culture and women's rights, and since her disappearance has become a cultural icon.[2] Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and she set many other records.[3] She was one of the first aviators to promote commercial air travel, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots.[4]

Send us a Text Message.Welcome to the new ‘Literary Aviatrix Classics' series, where I discuss books written by and about our aviatrix pioneers with my venerable co-hosts, Dr. Jacque Boyd and Captain Jenny Beatty. In this interview, we get to know Jacque and Jenny, and we announce the subject of our first ‘Classics' discussion.  Dr. Jacque Boyd is an educator and a general aviation pilot. She has a B.A. in Education, Psychology, and Special Education. In 1979 she was awarded the Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship from the Ninety-Nines for her M.Ed. in Aerospace Education. She also holds a PhD in Curriculum Development and Supervision. Her dissertation was a study of math and science education.Jacque's writing expertise covers several magazine columns, including the Current Issues and Tools for Schools column for Aviation for Women. She also writes extensively for The Ninety-Nines Magazine with the latest contribution being book reviews. She currently does book reviews for several publications and has experienced the fun of ghostwriting.Jacque is a self-admitted book-a-holic with well over 1000 volumes. The majority of the books are aviation-related and most about women's flight. She also has all her grandfather's education books from when he was a teacher in Kentucky in the late 1800s.  Captain Jenny Beatty is a longtime airline pilot, author, and advocate for women and others underrepresented in aviation.Jenny's interest in aviation's early days stems from being in one of the few families to have three generations of women pilots. Both of her maternal grandparents learned to fly in 1930, and their daughter, Jenny's mother, earned her pilot's license in 1945. Following them into the air in 1981, Jenny became a flight instructor, airline pilot, check airman, and flight operations manager, and is rated to fly the B737, B747, B777, B787, DC-9, seaplanes, and gliders. In this portrait, Jenny is wearing her grandmother's flying jacket. To join the Literary Aviatrix Classics conversation, Jenny draws from her collection of over 350 books and magazines by and about women and other underrepresented pilots all over the world, including rare early first editions. She is a popular writer and public speaker on historical and contemporary pilot career topics. Read Jenny's articles and resources at wwwDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

Kaye and her family traveled from to the Pacific Northwest and eventually settled in White Salmon, WA.

Welcome to Episode 90 of the Adventures with Grammy Podcast. Today's guest is Paul Entrekin. For most of his adult life, Paul's feet have been off the ground and in the air flying from one destination to another -- sometimes upside down -- sometimes at warp speed. A retired US Marine, naval aviator and Delta Airline captain, Paul primarily is known today as an acrobatic pilot who owns and flies a Russian MIG 15 fighter jet in airshows across North America. The role he cherishes is grandpa. Today we will discuss his first children's book, Jasper and the Christmas Faeries, a book co-written with his wife, Lisa, but inspired by his youngest grandchild and only grandson. https://www.amazon.com/Jasper-Christmas-Faeries-Tales-Rufus/dp/163337632X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1J928RVKSXZVU&keywords=jasper+and+the+christmas+fairies+paul+and+lisa+entrekin&qid=1664547534&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=paul+entrekin%2Caps%2C913&sr=8-1 Proceeds from the book benefit the respected charity, Pilots for Kids - Aviation Professionals dedicated to helping hospitalized children Paul Entrekin Entrekin Aviation (facebook.com) (51) Entrekin Aviation - Flying the MiG-15 - YouTube Women Can Fly is a volunteer organization whose mission is to promote women of all ages to fly.

Amelia Earhart's statue was recently unveiled at the U.S. Capitol, and for good reason: Her adventurous spirit had implications for women around the country.

Episode 55 is out today with guest Melissa! From the moment Melissa spotted a sea turtle on her first plane ride as a child with her grandfather flying the plane, she has loved flying. It was not until decades later that Melissa realised she could have a career as a pilot and transition from her desk job in banking that left her feeling unfulfilled.  Melissa began flight training in 2014, since then she has juggled working full-time, earning a BS in Aviation Administration from Utah Valley University, flight training and life on her family cattle farm. For almost the past five years, Melissa has also worked full time in aviation for AeroNavData/Garmin as an aeronautical analyst and trainer.  She holds a rotorcraft CFI and commercial helicopter licence with instrument rating and is currently working on her CFII. Since discovering her love for helicopter flying, Melissa has been involved with the Ninety-Nines, Women in Aviation and the Whirly Girls aviation organisations. 

Behind her modest smile and windblown charm, Amelia Earhart was a rarity in the 1930s: a fiercely confident woman with a dream to fly. Her adventurous spirit went well beyond setting records as a pilot—her true goal was perhaps equality for women. This is a different Amelia, which might explain why the mystery of her disappearance remains unsolved—explorers are looking in the wrong place.

It's on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, in Washington, D.C. Learn about the Ninety-Nines, an organization founded in 1929 to promote advancement for women in aviation. Earhart was the Ninety-Nines' first president. Today its membership is composed of thousands of female pilots from around the world.

My guest speaks to her childhood home, and her piloting feats, Earhart was known for encouraging women to reject constrictive social norms and to pursue numerous opportunities, especially in the field of aviation. In 1929 she helped found an organization of female pilots that later became known as the Ninety-Nines. Earhart served as its first president. In addition, she debuted a functional clothing line in 1933, which was designed “for the woman who lives actively.” In addition, my guest speaks to the latest on her disappearance. www.ameliaearhartmuseum.orghttps://www.yourlotandparcel.org

In this interview with author Kristin L. Gray, she talks about her middle-grade novel THE AMELIA SIX: AN AMELIA EARHART MYSTERY. Set in Amelia Earhart's childhood home, this is a fun read for ages 8-12 that incorporates quirky characters, fun facts about Amelia, and the rich history of the Ninety-Nines. It's also a great book for promoting STEM with young girls and boys (my 9-year-old son loved it.)The blurb: Amelia Earhart's famous aviator goggles go missing and eleven-year-old Millie has to find them before the night is over in this girl-powered middle grade mystery.Eleven-year-old Amelia Ashford—Millie to her friends (if she had any, that is)—doesn't realize just how much adventure awaits her when she's given the opportunity of a lifetime: to spend the night in Amelia Earhart's childhood home with five other girls. Make that five strangers. But Millie's mom is a pilot like the famous Amelia, and Millie would love to have something to write to her about…if only she had her address.Once at Amelia's house in Atchison, Kansas, Millie stumbles upon a display of Amelia's famous flight goggles. She can't believe her good luck, since they're about to be relocated to a fancy museum in Washington, DC. But her luck changes quickly when the goggles disappear, and Millie was the last to see them. Soon, fingers are pointing in all directions, and someone falls strangely ill. Suddenly, a fun night of scavenger hunts and sweets takes a nosedive and the girls aren't sure who to trust. With a blizzard raging outside and a house full of suspects, the girls have no choice but to band together. It's up to the Amelia Six to find the culprit and return the goggles to their rightful place. Or the next body to collapse could be one of theirs. Be sure to check out Kristin's other books: VELONIA BEEBE TAKES CHARGE (middle-grade fiction), KOALA IS NOT A BEAR (picture book), and ROVER THROWS A PARTY (picture book).  

Was Amelia Earhart ever in Oklahoma ? Is there any truth to the TALL TALE that Amelia Earhart was arrested in Oklahoma? What happened to her? What are the Ninety Nines in Oklahoma? What kind of Plane did she fly? Let's journey back!

Anna Pangrazzi received her Private Pilot Licence in 1977, later completing her commercial licence, and instrument, multi-engine and float ratings. She graduated from York University with a B.A. in Economics in 1985 and completed a degree in Humanities in 2002. All of this she has done in addition to accumulating extensive flying experience all over Canada and North America as the President and Founder of Apex Aircraft Sales, founded in 1988. Anna also became an agent for the sale of new Cessna Aircraft for Leggat Aviation Inc. in 1996 and would go on to receive the Robert Ames Gold CSTAR Award from Cessna, for Excellence in Retail Sales in 2000 and 2001. More recently, she and Leggat Aviation Ltd. were named the Eastern Canada Sales Representative for the Cessna Caravan. Anna is a long-time member of the International Organization of Women Pilot's and The Ninety Nines, continuing to be active in the First Canadian Chapter having held various offices over the years.  She has previously been the Governor of the East Canada Section and also the head of Operation Skywatch: a joint program encompassing the flight monitoring and photographing of land, water and air pollution in Ontario by volunteer pilots of the Ninety-Nines in collaboration with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment from 1985-1988. In addition to her numerous professional roles, Anna volunteers her time as Vice-President of the Northern Lights Aero Foundation, an organization formed in 2009 to recognize women who have made significant contributions to Aviation and Aerospace in Canada. In 2013, Anna received the Governor's Service Award from the East Canada Section of the Ninety-Nines. In 2014, she was inducted into the Ninety-Nines International Forest of Friendship. She has also been recognized by the 2013 Women's Courage Awards in the Amelia Earhart category and has been recognized by the Women of Influence organization as a Diversity Champion for her work on the Northern Lights Aero Foundation. She has also previously been Director for the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame.  A member of AOPA, COPA, WIA (Women in Aviation International), WOAW (Women of Aviation Week) and WIA-C (Women in Aerospace – Canada), a Director on the Board for Hope Air, and the current co-chair of Rally for the Cure for the Ewings Cancer Foundation, Anna is busy coordinating events and air rallies across Canada.

Florence Lowe "Pancho" Barnes (July 22, 1901 – March 30, 1975) was a pioneer aviator and a founder of the first movie stunt pilots' union. In 1930, she broke Amelia Earhart's air speed record. Barnes raced in the Women's Air Derby, was a member of the Ninety-Nines and certainly helped paved the path for female aviators in the U.S. Military. In short, Pancho Barnes was a badass.

Ivana is the Governor of the African Section a non-profit organization of International Women Pilots called the Ninety-Nines. It is the only and first organization for women pilots established in 1929 by 99 women pilots founded by Amelia Earhart in the USA. Female pilots remain a rarity especially in Africa. The numbers are starting to increase but it is still a minuscule amount. The African Section aims to work with schools, careers and offices to help enthuse girls to look into gaining a career in aviation. Many girls in Africa do not participate significantly or perform well in Science Technology Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects. This situation becomes more pronounced as the level of education increases and a combination of factors, including cultural practices and attitudes, and biased teaching and learning materials, perpetuate the imbalance.Many African countries face significant challenges in educating their youth at all, due to lack of equipment and access to basic amenities like electricity, as well as non-attendance in school. As a result, many youth may be unable to read even after several years of education. The African Section will teach educational sessions to the youth and adults to bolster Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in Africa under the "Girls Wings For Africa" (GWFA) Project. Working with under privileged children visiting local schools in villages and starting STEM camps will inspire youth and a new generation of youth to reach great heights. With the global shortage of pilots and shortage of skilled aviation professionals and gender disparity. STEM is needed now more than ever. "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world"~ Nelson Mandela - Former President South Africa

From Fear of Elevators to Champion Acrobatic PilotGuest: Cecilia Aragon, Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Washington, and author of "Flying Free: My Victory Over Fear to Become the First Latina Pilot on the US Aerobatic Team"Cecilia Aragon was so afraid of heights that she couldn't ride in an elevator. She began to feel like her fear was defining her life, and when a co-worker invited her to go flying with him, she said yes. In just six years, she would be flying in acrobatic air shows. She broke barriers to become the first Latina pilot on the US Areobatic Team and the first full professor in her department at the UW.  Fly GirlsGuest: Keith O'Brien, journalist and author of “Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History”Amelia Earhart wasn't the only pioneering female pilot in the skies in the '20s and '30s. She was the president of The Ninety-Nines, a group of women who were all licensed pilots. They came from different backgrounds, but they all supported each other in their pursuit of flying. But that doesn't mean that they didn't compete against each other as well in the race for prizes and accolades in air races and record-breaking feats of daring.

"It’s time to take this entire case; all 82 years of it and burn it all down." When we decided to do this series not too long ago, the first question that I asked was how do we approach a case like this in a way that hasn’t already been done? And how can we make it interesting and fun even? The idea for what you’re about to hear came to me almost a year ago and it took us almost a year to produce a single part of this series. As we stand right now, we’ve journeyed through Amelia Earhart’s childhood, her adolescent years, her time in Canada after the war, her introduction to aviation and her extraordinary career. We’ve looked at causes that meant a lot to AE such as the Ninety-Nines, the air derby of 1929 and her extraordinary ties to Purdue University. And when last we left her, Amelia experienced failure, not for the first time in her life, but on a stage and a level that was unlike anything she’d ever faced to that point. I’ve poured over this case for a little over 15 years now, and I’ve spoken to some of the top minds in the world regarding what happens next. Some of those minds disagree with each other. Aggressively at times. There are aspects of this case that begin on the day AE and Noonan disappeared; July the 2nd 1937. And there have been constant developments to this day. One thing is for certain. What’s been done up to this point hasn’t yielded any results. At the end of part seven, I told you that you were all about to take part in the trial of the century. Tonight, that trial begins. We can’t look at this thing with a business as usual approach. It’s time to shake things up. It’s time to get under some people’s skin. It’s time to take this entire case; all 82 years of it and burn it all down. Strap yourselves in because we’re all in till it’s over. Time to swear in.

"Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men." Welcome back to Vanished: Amelia Earhart. Tonight I take a little break from the midwest and travel to Morro Bay, California; one of my very favorite spots in the world. When we started this series there was never a question as to whether or not we'd discuss an organization that Amelia Earhart held very close to her heart. We just had to get the right people to do it, and tonight we have them. While the show thus far has covered all of the ways that Amelia Earhart was different from her fellow colleagues, tonight, I thought we'd try a different approach. After all, during the golden age of aviation, there was one organization that brought all of the pioneering women of aviation together for a greater cause. Well...ninety-nine of them at least.  SHOW NOTES The official website for the Ninety-Nines (https://www.ninety-nines.org/) The official website for the "Museum of Women Pilots" (https://museumofwomenpilots.org/) in Oklahoma City  The official website for the "Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum (https://www.ameliaearhartmuseum.org/) " in Atchison The official website for the "International Forest of Friendship (http://www.ifof.org/) " in Atchison The official website for the WASP (https://waspmuseum.org/) (Women Air Force Service Pilots)  Jackie Cochran @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Cochran)   The Ninety-Nines @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-Nines) "Vanished: Amelia Earhart" was recorded in its entirety by the Zoom H1N microphone.

You know Amelia Earhart, but did you know she was just one of a daring group of women aviators who defied both expectations and gravity in the 1920s? They called themselves the Ninety-Nines, and they’re still flying today as an organization dedicated to the advancement of women pilots. This time on Sidedoor, we time-travel to the Roaring ‘20s to experience America's first official all-female air race, and then meet a modern-day Ninety-Nine who is ensuring that the legacy of Earhart and her fellow pilots continues to thrive.

Only 0.2% of the U.S. population are certificated pilots… and out of those pilots, only about 6% are female. Since the days of Amelia Earhart, this select group of women pilots have joined together for networking, encouragement, training, and busting through any stereotypes in this male-dominated industry of aviation. Today on the podcast we have the honor of introducing you to three women who live on Maui and are members of The Ninety-Nines, Inc., Int’l Organization of Women Pilots. We’ve asked them to share a little about their flying experiences, what being a part of the 99s means to them, and of course, their favorite things to do on Maui.   Resources https://www.flymauihi.com/   https://www.ninety-nines.org/   https://www.wai.org/   https://www.airraceclassic.org/   Anita White, the “Aviator Agent” https://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/associate/180-a-3018-4027421/anita-white   Follow these organizations on social media: IG: @theninetyninesinc & @womeninaviation Twitter: @TheNinetyNines & @WomenInAviation Facebook: @99sinc, @aloha99s, & @WomenInAviationIntl   What’s Next?

“I think the fact that she along with the other women had the foresight to put together a group of women that would let the world know that women fly and let them know what women can do. I think she’ll go down in history forever for having done that.” I can’t stress this enough. Bee Haydu is a legend. Over ten years ago when doing pre-research for what would become Chasing Earhart, Bee’s story came to my attention and I haven’t been able to shake it sense. At 97 years old, Bee continues to inspire women all over the world with the WASP story and she does it with a sense of humor, humility, and poise that we at the project have never seen before. Knocking down barrier after barrier, Bee and the other women of the WASP program faced trials, criticism and doubt along their journey. But that never deterred them from fighting for their right to serve their country by flying. Tonight, on the landmark 60th episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast, and in season 2’s first episode of its “ICON” series, Bee joins us via Zoom from Florida to discuss Women Airforce Service Pilots, her role as a beacon of aviation and why she believes that Amelia Earhart and the Ninety-Nines laid the foundation for women to become empowered and rightfully cement themselves into aviation history.

It took a certain amount of pure grit to be a pilot in the early days of aviation – and even more for the women who had to defy convention just to get up in the air. And that’s why early aviatrixes are at the top of our badass list. And if you’re thinking the only aviatrix was Amelia Earhart – think again. She was just one of a daring group of women aviators who were walking on wings, flying under bridges, breaking altitude records, and racing across the country – in the 1920s! Join Emily, Matt, and Nick as they explore the history of the Ninety-Nines, the organization of women pilots originally led by Earhart and still active today. Documentary-maker Heather Taylor sets the scene of the thrilling and dangerous first Women’s National Air Derby in 1929. And Emily discovers an amazing view in her first non-commercial flight (in a tiny four-seater!) with modern-day Ninety-Nine Judy Shaw.

“Hopefully I can motivate kids to go out and try new things. Here I am at sixty-three, in a single engine aircraft, flying around the world. You can go out and do something amazing, too.” -Brian Lloyd ​Brian Lloyd is the first solo aviator to complete the historic Earhart equatorial route. Spirit has endured fierce winds, blasting sandstorms, and severe tropical weather along the equator. It has not been an easy flight, due to the long flight hours and complex logistics. On July 14th, Spirit’s engine failed momentarily at 21,000 feet over the Pacific ocean, forcing Brian Lloyd to land in New Zealand for repairs. Everywhere he went, he invited ground crew and friends to sign the airplane with a marker pen. It became a mission of outreach and goodwill. The plane’s fuselage and wings are now covered in signatures that bear witness to the huge network of support that it takes to fly around the world. At the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum in Atchison Kansas, Lloyd was awarded the medal from the Ninety-Nines, the famous international organization of women pilots founded in 1929, of which Amelia Earhart was its first president. Several world records were set by Brian Lloyd and Spirit on this flight: First solo flight of the Historic Earhart Equatorial Route and first male pilot to fly the Historic Earhart Equatorial Route in a propeller aircraft. ​Tonight on this special 50th episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast, Brian joins us via Zoom to break down and discuss his historic world flight, Project Amelia and why Amelia Earhart continues to have a lasting impact on aviation, and aviators all over the world. ​ ​

Kathleen (Kay) Hilbrandt started taking flying lessons in 1942, and in 1943 was accepted into the Womens Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) program. She attend Army Air Corps flight training (the same course as male pilots) in 1944, flying PT-17s, BT-13s and AT-6s. Then she served as a safety pilot in Eagle Pass, Texas, for aviation cadets performing instrument flights "under the hood". After the war, when the WASP was disbanded, she joined the Ninety Nines and returned to New Jersey to work for Bendix Aviation Corporation. Following that, she was a flight instructor, training veterans who were using their GI Bill to obtain flight training. In 1960 she flew in the All Women Transcontinental Air Race ("Powder Puff Derby") in a Cessna 172. In 2010 the WASP were awarred the Congressional gold Medal for their service during WWII. In 2013 Kay received the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. She continues to fly for pleasure.

Amelia Earhart was a freakin’ badass woman. How much do you know about her? Does your knowledge go beyond her disappearance? Guests Manny Hagopian and Heather Woodward know how wonderful she is and celebrate how much she did for flight milestones, women’s rights and more. Manny even wrote a musical about her and Heather is playing Amelia! So sit down and enjoy Manny and Heather share how great Amelia is. For instance, Amelia help start “The Ninety-Nines”, an international organization made up of women pilots who promote the advancement of aviation through education, scholarships and more. It was started in 1929 and is still active today. So cool! This is a great episode that’s going to make you want to come out to the Rockwell in Los Angeles and check out Manny and Heather’s musical “Earhart: More Than A F*ing Mystery”!

Amelia Mary Earhart, July 24, 1897 – disappeared July 2, 1937) was an American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this accomplishment. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. In 1935, Earhart became a visiting faculty member at Purdue University as an advisor to aeronautical engineering and a career counselor to women students. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.

http://www.flyaboutmovie.com/In this episode I do things a little bit differently. I don't talk about one of my flights; instead I have invited Monika Petrillo into the virtual hanger to chat about her documentary film, Flyabout. As a relatively new pilot, Monika decided to fly around the continent of Australia with her father, brother and father's wife.  Flyabout is the inspirational and beautiful film which chronicles her flight around Australia. It is not a travel log, it is more than that. It is her personal journey as she grows from a young woman into adulthood.For the pilot or aviation lover, there is a lot of flying in this film. You follow her flights around Australia. You see the beautiful scenery, the wildlife and the people she meets along the way. You see her deal with formation flying, IMC weather, dirt runways and an extreme crosswind landing. You get to see Monika grow as a pilot.This is a must see movie and has a spot on my shelf right next to 16 Right.You can purchase the DVD, read about the movie and watch the trailer on her website http://flyaboutmovie.com/.You can follow Monika on Twitter at  http://twitter.com/Flyabout.Show Notes:Interview with Monika Petrillo about Flyabout the documentary chronicling her flight around the continent of AustraliaIssues with being the least experienced and the only female pilotWhy AustraliaHer growth as a pilot and a personHer struggles with IMC, crosswind landings, back-country runways and formation flyingHer flight to Oshkosh as part of Bonanzas to OshkoshDiscuss each of our trips of Oshkosh 2010 What is a walkabout and is there a connection with Flyabout and what Monika learned about herselfThe shifting of generations and her conflicts with her father because she is the  more experienced pilotCelebrating the centennial of the first woman to get a pilot's license by setting a record for the most woman being introduced to flying in one single day - March 8, 2010Her daily prep for each leg of the journeyHow she conquered an extreme cross-wind landingThe 3 Question Segment1) What do you most like about flying?2) What do you want to do next?3) How has flying changed you?Monika's Shoutouts:1) Will and Dave of The Pilot's Flight PodLog - http://pilotwill.libsyn.com/2) Bonanza's to Oshkosh - http://www.b2osh.org/Home_page.htm3) Lynda Meeks of Girls With Wings - http://girlswithwings.com/4) The Ninety-Nines - http://www.ninety-nines.org/Please go to The Centennial of Woman Pilots website http://centennialofwomenpilots.com/ to celebrate the Centennial of Licensed Women Pilots and Women's Day, women pilots from around the world will attempt to set a new worldwide flying record: the most women pilots introducing a woman to flying in one single day, March 8, and in one single week, March 6 to March 12.
