Appropriately, it was March 8, 2022 International Women’s Day, when Leslie Hull, 24, of Avon, New York, completed her check ride as a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) pilot. What made the flight even more significant was that her mother, Captain Martha 'Mother Goose' Pickard, was her check pilot. Pickard, a flight instructor at Scottsville, New York-based Rochester Air Center, said, “I can’t tell you how awesome it is to crew an airplane with her. She’s really good and always impresses me.” Source: AVweb.com - April 12, 2022 |
