Allyssa VanMeter
05/03/20 • 60 min
In this 13th episode of the Chicks Who Fly Podcast, I have a chat with pilot, hair stylist, salon owner and host of the Cockpits and Cocktails podcast, Allyssa VanMeter, a.k.a. Fly Allyssa.
Allyssa was bit by the aviation bug when she took a helicopter tour of Hawaii during a vacation there. Alyssa is currently using her COVID-19 quarantine time to study for her instrument rating. In our conversation, we address the challenges of flight training, the extraordinary pride she felt when she passed her check ride, the surprising perspective that aviation gives her in flight and in life, personal minimums, time management, the wonderful aviation community, finding opportunities in unexpected setbacks and the importance of priorities. Allyssa also shares some of her aviation story and anecdotes, including that one time she stayed overnight in the FBO.
This is a fun conversation with an awesome lady and pilot! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed chatting with Fly Allyssa.
You can connect with Allyssa on IG and you can listen to the podcast she does with Natalie Kelley, Cockpits and Cocktails
Theme music by Diego Jinkus.

Natalie Kelley
In today’s episode of Chicks Who Fly, I get to have a conversation with Natalie Kelley. commercial pilot, podcaster, business owner, mother and owner of Fly Girl LLC . Natalie and I get to talk about airshows, seaplanes, aerobatics, the impact that being clear on your priorities has on the choices you make, the importance of being true to yourself and not caring too much about other people’s opinions about what you are doing, the focus that it took for her to complete her flight training and her company’s mission to encourage and inspire women and young girls to open their hearts and minds to their potential.
Natalie launched flyGIRL after she earned her pilot certificate. The experience of pushing her own boundaries, challenging herself, and succeeding as a woman in a male-dominated industry completely changed Natalie’s life. She gained confidence and a sense of independence that she had forgotten in adulthood. With her own money, Natalie launched flyGIRL and self-funded the first $5,000 flyGIRL Scholarship to finance a portion of the cost to send another woman to pilot training.

In today’s 14th episode of Chicks Who Fly, I get to have a conversation with Sammi McQ. Sammi is a Private Pilot with an Instrument Rating, who started flying while she was in high school, shortly after her dad accidentally purchased an airplane. Sammi is currently working on her Commercial Certificate. In this conversation, Sammi and I discuss the challenges she faced during her instrument training, the impact of an incompatible flight instructor on her training process, the cool way she learned to always hit her wake when performing steep turns, her aviation bucket list and taking the FAA written exam in the midst of pandemic-related closures. We compare her experience at a Part 61 vs Part 141 flight school and Sammi also shares her experience volunteering at an event where little girls were being taken up for their their first flight. This was a fun conversation for me, so I hope you enjoy the interview I got to do with Sammi McQ.
