Lost Mom 22 years ago today. She was a total trip - pilot, pioneer, veteran, awesome mom. I miss her so much.

Looks to be, but also a pilot

The 2023 Fly in is April 28-29. I hope to make it!

I want to be there so bad! I'm still going to be in chemo, so I'll have to enjoy vicariously. I hope you get to go!

Not sure what to say exactly but I do hope it goes well and that you recover. Sorry if this sounds clumsy.

Not clumsy at all - very kind and thoughtful! Thank you! :) I'm in my fourth time through chemo since 2019. I've gotten used to being bald (which comes in handy during hot DC summers).

Looks very nice and capable. I’m sure you miss her.

She was one cool mama.

This is awesome. Just went down a rabbit hole and learned that not only did they train a class of RAF pilots there, but Sweetwater became the only all-female air base in history the same year as this picture?!
