Patty Combs Wagstaff

This incredible and beautiful woman could be a series of paintings all by
herself. Her book Fire & Air: a life on the edge is an inspiration to any
woman and an major inspiration for my art work! She has earned many
honors & awards; I won't try to list them all.  A few are:
  • a six-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team
  • the highest-placing American with gold, silver and bronze medals
  • three-time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion
  • a six-time recipient of ”First Lady of Aerobatics“, Betty Skelton
    Award.
  • first woman to win the title of U.S. National Aerobatic Champion
Patty has won the gold, silver and bronze medals in National as well as
International Competition. She has trained with the Russian Aerobatic
Team and flown air shows and competitions on five continents. In March,
1994, her airplane the Goodrich Extra 260, went on display in the
Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC. You can
see Patty's airplane and exhibit in the Pioneers of Flight Gallery right
next to Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Vega.
