Who Said "The Weaker Sex"!
Mrs. Norma Faraldo, wife of George J. Faraldo, who operates Faraldo Flying Service at Meacham Field, soloed Saturday morning in a Piper Cub.
Mrs. Faraldo said she had to listen to "hangar flying" all the time, so decided she might as well get in on the sessions. Now Mrs. Faraldo is flying daily and expects to have her private license in the near future.
Between her housekeeping tasks, she now pauses frequently to ponder over some error in her flying.
"What," she says, "could have caused me to bounce that landing?"
Mr. Faraldo was a navy pilot during the war. He and his wife have decided not to fly together until she gets her private license. Then they can argue over the fine points of flying.
