Description

Miss Betty Stroufus and some of the Pinup Patriettes during the Patriot Days Air Show. Miss Betty is 91 years young and is one of the FIRST WW2 Women Pilots!!
She was sooooo awesome to talk to! What she did for our country, and what she did to pave the way for women is AMAZING! We loved her laugh and her stories on how she showed up the men pilots :)

Jillian- What a fantastic gallery you have here. I have had so much fun with it, going through the pages and seeing your incrdible works. I also went through the other folks galleries you have listed. I truely enjoy the talent of others and yesterday the weather was bad and I had a wonderful morning just being entertained with your gallery.
When it comes to the MT I think you have a whole page of winners here and I being on the older side of life certainly enjoy all the looks that you have here. Vintage is certainly captured in fun ways. I love this one of the ladies and the look of some they have of days gone by. I sure do miss them days. You and the others should be proud of your galleries, love your work, what amazing talent you are gifted with.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. #9020567

WOW, thank you guys for the HUGE compliments! Frank, I'm so glad my gallery kept you busy :)
Betty told me this story when meeting her: Last year she was at an airshow. Well, she wanted to fly in a replica plane like the one she flew back in the day, so they let her go up with a co pilot!Part way into the flight over the airport, the copilot said "do you need my brown paper bag,Betty, in case you get sick? She said to him " no honey, but you can use mine if you need it" hahahaha! THEN, just when they were going to come in for landing, she buzzed the airstrip!!!
She was a hoot! #9020866
