Mount Comfort, Indiana – One of the people whom I wanted to meet and speak with at the Indianapolis Air Show this year was Laura Stants of Kokomo, Indiana. I had discovered that she flew an airplane that I kind of grew up with as a kid in Richmond, Indiana. My dad flew these for many years as a private pilot from the airport in near Richmond, Indiana that belonged to Sherm Fleming. Mr. Fleming bought 6 AT-6’s after WWII. My dad and Sherm flew these plans all over the Midwest for several years before the U.S. Military bought them back at the start of the Korean War.

I had the good fortune of speaking Laura who once again brought one of these historical AT-6’s to this years Indianapolis Air Show at Mount Comfort Airport that belongs to Nathan Davis.

Laura and her husband operate 3 flying schools in central Indiana. You can find out more about Laura by visiting her sites http://laurastants.com/index.htm, http://www.warbirdtc.com, and Lady Taildraggers http://www.ladieslovetaildraggers.com.
