Emily at the Airport

I loved getting to speak alongside my friends and colleagues at this event highlighting women in transportation!!

Finally got to take this girl flying!! Caroline is the daughter of a long-time friend, and I’m so glad we could meet up to get her a flight in 45H! She’s smart as a tack, naturally curious, and has more self-awareness than most adults I know. I hope this is the first of many flights together!💛✈️

✈️75 years in the Jones/Herron family!!✈️
The core memories that I have made in the airplane are unmeasurable, but here are a few. So grateful my grandpa saw fit to purchase this beautiful Cub in June 1949, and that he and my dad kept her, flew her, and maintained her for all these years.💛
•
I loved learning to fly in the Cub and I’m excited for the privilege of teaching my son. What an amazing family legacy. Here’s to 75 years!🥂

Being a *general aviation* Airport Manager means being in a suit on Capitol Hill on a Friday and back for daily fuel checks at the airport on a Saturday.✈️
•
I wear a lot of hats in this job, some days it’s fueling planes and customer service, some days it’s planning an event, and some days it’s advocating for funding with legislators in Washington, DC. Plus a few more, haha!🧢👒🎩
•
One of my favorite parts of my career is that every day is different! There’s always something to learn and ways to grow as a professional and leader. I’ve only been in this career full-time for 4 years, but each season teaches me something new about myself and my industry. Couldn’t be more grateful.☺️

Beech Bash in the Bluegrass 2024 was one for the books! Putting on an event of this magnitude takes a ton of work, and it was truly a team effort!💪🏼

When Sam Guirguis came to me 2.5 years ago with the idea for this event, I thought, “sure, invite some of your Beechcraft friends to our airport in KY, sounds fun!” I would have never imagined that by the third year we would be welcoming 107 aircraft to Madisonville, KY! Thankful he entrusted us at Madisonville to host this awesome event that he has turned into something so unique.💛

This event would not be successful without the amazing sponsors, volunteers, my airport staff, our Airport Board, and the City of Madisonville. It takes a village!✈️

The aviation community really is the best, and I’m honored that all the Beech friends I’ve made over the last 3 years have taken in this Cub pilot & Airport Manager as one of their own.☺️

Just a girl and her Cub.⚡️🐻
Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a slump when it comes to flying. Between work, weather, shorter days, and just life in general, I’ve not been in the air as much as I want lately both working towards my instrument rating and flying my Cub for fun. It has me down (both literally and figuratively)!
•
But! I think sometimes this is part of the journey. Our paths are not always linear, and these rough patches can challenge us and make us better. I know I need to be using my time to study for my oral and keep my brain thinking of approaches and systems and emergency procedures. It’s not easy, especially when all I want to do is fly. But it will make me better. I’m determined to be better for it.💪🏼
•
I hope if you have found yourself in a similar slump, that you’re able to find something worthwhile to do with your time. Study, watch videos, read, or rest. Rest is also important.💛

An airport manager who wears high heels to a feed store…💁🏻‍♀️ I loved getting to talk about GA airports with these great transportation professionals and Representative Rudy. I’m just glad Miss Kentucky was also in heels.👸🏻

Getting to fly my Cub twice this week- including a beautiful sunset flight, has been the perfect way to recharge after air show week.✈️

Now it’s back to the grind of instrument training so I can get that finished up soon!

Had a wild & wonderful time in West Virginia! I was honored to speak at the WV Aviation Conference on the importance of social media in marketing your airport or aviation business. While there I met some incredible aviation professionals from all different sides of the industry and got to network with some incredible women in aviation leadership. So grateful for these opportunities!✈️
•
Also, the views weren’t terrible.

OSH 23 is in the books!! Had the pleasure of getting to fly into this year which was an awesome experience! Toured the airport and both FBOs, then had to taste the local Green Bay cuisine before the short drive south to OSH!💚💛
•
AirVenture is always a week packed full of airplanes and aviation people, which is always the best part. I had a blast with the crew this year along with catching up with my favorite coffee roasters and seeing lots of friends!! What a week.✈️

Thanks to Alex Gertsen, NBAA’s Director of Airports & Ground Infrastructure for visiting me at the airport yesterday! I showed him around our facilities and we chatted about how business aviation impacts general aviation airports and the communities they serve. Airports play a pivotal role in the efficiency of many local businesses and industries, and I’m so thankful for organizations like NBAA who are advocating for local airports and highlighting their strengths.

I’m thankful to have friends who are pilots and industry professionals!

Flying with this kid is one of my favorite things. Not only does he keep me entertained, but I love watching him learn new things, both about aviation and life. So grateful I get to share time in the sky with him!

This guy had a birthday a couple of days ago and today we get to celebrate him!! I couldn’t be happier to be in the “my dad taught me how to fly” club, because I truly believed I learned from one of the best. Happy Birthday, Dad!!!
