Evelyn Bryan Johnson, known affectionately as “Mama Bird” by her many flight students, turns 100 today.
According to a report at AOPA.org, Johnson will be recognized today by Willard Scott on NBC’s Today Show.
Johnson has logged more than 57,635 hours, qualifying her as the highest-time female pilot and the highest-time living pilot in the Guiness Book of World Records.
I hope she flies for another 100 years. What a honor it would to fly with someone who has seen what she has along with all the changes. Her knowledge and insight could never be matched. Happy birhtday and keep on FLYING!!!!!!
