At last, the truth...

I've flown with four female CFIs, but probably close to twenty or thirty
male CFIs. Where there's a choice I try to fly with the women, figuring
that a woman who is trying to make it in any male-dominated field is
likely to have more passion for it than the men.

My favorite CFI was a young woman about my age at the time (mid 20's) who
soloed me. She was very patient and positive with her comments.

I liked her because she was a very good flight instructor, a natural teacher
and a good pilot. She got hired away to the regionals just after I soloed.
The next guy was dumb as a box of rocks. The one after that had a death
wish, I swear.

Why is it *so* unbelievable to so many people that a woman can be just
as passionate about *flying* as a man can be -- just for the love of
FLYING, not to get to the airlines or to find a husband?

Oh, it's not unbelievable. I've met two or three like that - about one
for every hundred men like that.

Sure makes for some interesting odds.
