Peggy Gordon earned an 2001 Amelia Earhart scholarship for an instrument rating.

["Before I started flying, I was told it would open up a whole new world for me. Never a truer statement! With my first flight, May 1994, I was hooked. I obtained my PPL in December 1994, my night rating shortly thereafter, and carried on to my commercial licence. Since then, I have been flying regularly, gaining experience (and a new perspective from the air) on various aircraft, including tail wheels and floats. My next goal is obtain my instrument rating and then employment commercially. I cannot imagine my future without aviation."]
