Only 0.2% of the U.S. population are certificated pilots… and out of those pilots, only about 6% are female. Since the days of Amelia Earhart, this select group of women pilots have joined together for networking, encouragement, training, and busting through any stereotypes in this male-dominated industry of aviation. Today on the podcast we have the honor of introducing you to three women who live on Maui and are members of The Ninety-Nines, Inc., Int’l Organization of Women Pilots. We’ve asked them to share a little about their flying experiences, what being a part of the 99s means to them, and of course, their favorite things to do on Maui.

Tim Perry’s fascination with flying helicopters began in his childhood while his father was in the military. Out on his own in his teens, Tim began his fixed wing then rotorcraft training, which led him to some interesting jobs in exotic locations, from Puerto Rico, to Alaska, then eventually flying missions for Search & Rescue and the National Park Service in Hawaii. Now, as a pilot for Blue Hawaiian Helicopters on Maui, Tim joins us today to share his stories and passion for aviation.

First solo flight as a pilot. It’s a day that each pilot remembers for the rest of their lives and an event that deserves special attention. It’s the combination of the highest level of anxiety, thrill and accomplishment that really few people get to experience in their lifetimes.

Today on Episode 3 we’re going to tell our first solo stories as student pilots and relive some of the memories of that exciting day. We hope this brings a little nostalgia to you seasoned pilots or anticipation for those of you who haven’t soloed yet, or thinking about flight training.

Did you know? Less than 0.2% of the U.S. population are pilots. And out of that pilot population, only about 6% are female. A pretty small niche in our society. With new regulations after 9/11 the days of hanging around small local airports, kicking the tires, and talking to pilots are diminishing. The rate of newly certificated pilots is not growing in proportion to population growth & demand. So how did not just one of us, but both of us become private pilots?

 

In Episode 2 we share some of our aviation journey and hope to encourage many of you to learn to fly. If you are already a pilot, we challenge you to join us in doing what you can to promote general aviation & help bridge the gap between airports, FBOs and your community.

We are John & Leslie Caubble, and we’re stoked that you joined us for this 1st episode of the Fly Maui podcast. We’ll be honest, Hawaii is not the most affordable place to do flight training. Finding ways to keep your head in the aviation game can be challenging, whether you’re on the ground due to finances, time or family life. This podcast is one of the ways we are attempting to learn and stay motivated while we inch our way toward the goal of earning additional ratings.
