Hello Aviation Enthusiasts. Welcome to my web page here at taildraggers.com.

As you can see by Denise's smile taildragger flying brings lots of happy grins.  She's a perky example of our "scratch-to-first-solo" tailgear trainees.

Read more below; UPDATED 11/17/2010.
We are located in beautiful, refreshing southern New Mexico. You are welcome to join us for a few days in the marvelously temperate Alamogordo, Ruidoso, Las Cruces, El Paso area. Comfortable motel accommodations are readily available. Once you are enrolled with us enjoy the convenience of computer-based aircraft & flight scheduling. 

We like to fly!  We enjoy people who like to fly and good airplanes.  We have a nifty aviation community.  Alamogordo/White Sands Regional airport offers quite a variety including a sailplane/soaring club on field.  Linda's Airport Grille offers good food and friendly service. Check it out at AirNav.com.  Ed's Flying Service is the local FBO (a different Ed, we honor the memory of the late Ed Pavelka; got my multi-ingine rating with that Ed).
 
We offer a lot of good things: Tailgear Training from scratch to first solo or add-on endorsements, Flight Reviews, Mountain Flying and more.  I was a Naval Flight Officer (F-4s, A-6s, etc.) in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war.  I have a background in flight instruction, aerial application, photography, pipeline patrol, ferrying various aircraft coast to coast 'n' other stuff.  I have owned and operated a full-time, full-service FBO.


In Naval Aviation I picked up the moniker "Steady Eddie."  I freelance instruct other places by appointment, a.k.a. WIDENER AVIATION.  I am a CFI/flight training associate with Silver Linings Aviation and also with the FAR Part 141 training school at nearby Holloman Air Force Base Aero Club. Visit that facility at: HollomanFSS.com/Aero Club. Call Receptionist Lynette Mohr or the manager/Chief Flight instructor, Jim Harvey; they're great at helping arrange your membership & scheduling needs.


Kevin Dunshee/Silver Linings Aviation, is owner of the magnificent, 160 HP Lycoming-powered Super Cruiser we utilize.  Kevin is a top-notch tailgear instructor and Designated Pilot Examiner (please also check out Kevin's webpage).  Professional instructors and quality equipment are available to you.  We value the ability to tailor a custom-structured program.  It is a pleasure to meet your individual needs with quality instruction and pilot services for an enjoyable, fulfilling time. 

Also available is an immaculate Cessna 140 with 100 hp engine. We will be glad to work with you in your aircraft or ours; your place or ours. We can help make special arrangements for whatever aircraft you want.

Specialty jobs such as livestock or wildlife counts, real estate surveys, aerial banner ads, surveilance and photography or other forte pilot services are on the bill of fare. Come see us; you'll be glad you did.
