In today's episode, we celebrate pioneering women by revisiting Patty Wagstaff and cheering for Wally Funk. The original recording with Patty took place in the Fall of 2020 and pushed out as Episode 5 - a long form interview well worth a revisit. Today we have compiled a highlight episode that speaks to Patty’s work, wit and passion for flying alongside some of the less known aspects of what motivates her and how she focuses. Never a dull moment, always a next move, and nearing 70, Patty will impress, endear and inspire you. You can watch her air show performance at AirVenture Oshkosh 2021.
This week would not be complete without a shout out for Wally Funk. Regardless of when you are listening to this, marking this moment on the When Women Fly podcast is like staking territory and claiming space in our current culture for the phenomena of when women fly. Wally Funk symbolizes women rising into what is deserved and earned. Also, the integration of allies and shifting systems dismantle barriers-to-entry and give seats at the table, literally give seats on the rocket ship, and give a platform for women to be seen and heard.
Topics Include:
To Patty Wagstaff the sky represents beauty, freedom and challenge. A six-time member of the US Aerobatic Team, she is the first woman to win the title of US National Aerobatic champion and one of the few people to win it three times. Patty continues to fly airshows worldwide, and when not flying, she leads an active lifestyle and enjoys working out, riding horses, hanging out with her dogs and her parrot, Buddha, or at the beach. She loves good restaurants, music, reading, and cooking too!
Her latest venture is producing a series of educational and instructional videos on aerobatics with Sporty's Pilot Shop in Clermont, Ohio, with its first two releases “Introduction to Aerobatics” and “Basic Aerobatics” newly released.
Patty Wagstaff Airshows, Inc. and Patty Wagstaff Aviation Safety LLC are based in St. Augustine, Florida.

Trevor Simoneau shares with the story of his very first GA flight as a participant in EAA Young Eagles, which led to his journey to becoming a private pilot. To wrap up the episode Trevor shares his next big adventure with us. You don't want to miss this.
Trevor started his journey into general aviation at age ten. From there on, only the sky was the limit. In order to afford flight training, Trevor did what any kid his age would do: he started a business selling aviation apparel. With that, http://ChartItAll.com was born.
Trevor soloed a Cessna 172P on this sixteenth birthday, and he will have his private pilot certificate shortly after turning seventeen. As if that's not enough already, Trevor has announced that he is planning to fly a single-engine airplane around the world all by himself. His mission is to encourage grade school kids at all levels to follow their dreams.
Follow along on his journey, and stand behind him as he makes this epic journey to share aviation and STEM education with the entire world.

Ken VeArd has flown into EAA AirVenture Oshkosh five times, and he shares the story of four of those trips with David and Mike. The second of those flights was flown with David in the right seat, so we get to hear his perspective as well.
Ken has been involved in aviation since 1997 when he created the first version of the Pilot Partner electronic logbook. Since then, Ken has flown many different types of aircraft and is even an accomplished skydiver. With all of his flying experience, we could created a whole season of Logbook Memories. For now, we will stick with flying to the World's Greatest Aviation Adventure, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
