Default Mama Bird

Brian,
Is Evelyn "Mama Bird" Johnson still at the airport?

I'm wondering if she's ever flown an RV.

Yep,

Although she finally lost her medical and does not instruct or give flight test, and the fact that she had a horrible car accident, about died and had her leg amputated at the knee, she still finds a way to come to work everyday to do her job as airport manager.

She was recently inducted in the the National Aviation Hall of Fame:

Not sure if she will be there that day but I would say if she can make it she will. It would be a good opportunity to meet a legend if she can be there.

She was my primary flight instructor back in the early Eighties and gave me my PP checkride.

I think she still holds the record for the # of hours!

At one time she was considered the toughest examiner around the SouthEast!

I hope to be able to give her a ride in my RV when it is finished.
