Condolence: All my thought for Mrs Maybelle and her teachings. I was a student pilot at her flight school at Houston Hobby, and as FAA examiner she gave me the private pilot flight test in July 1985 which I passed. She had a very clear direct training style and to this day, I remember her tips on proper rudder use. Back in the office, both Larry and Maybelle would not hesitate to share their recommendations on any questions to become better aviators.

Condolence: Almost 42 years ago in 1975, as a young lady pilot I was thrilled to receive flight instruction from Maybelle. She was so knowledgeable, professional and a most delightful person. She encouraged me to become a flight instructor. With her mentoring I achieved that and I also went on to become a Continental Airline pilot. She and Larry had a great flight school and were lovely people. She was so special to so many and she will be missed. My Condolences go out to Larry and the Fletcher family and may God bless them all.

Condolence: Maybelle was my second wonderful lady flight instructor. My primary flight instructor taught me the PRACTICAL way to fly, and Maybelle continued that theme with my IFR rating in the early eighties. Women seem to be very good at instructing. She was always professional as well as friendly and calm during many hours of dual instruction. If I did anything wrong, she didn't raise her voice or get upset, she just spoke the right information to correct my flying.
I truly hope she thought I was a friend to her as she was to me.
Fly on, lady, you won't run out of gas now.

Condolence: Maybelle....one of the first lady aviators I met when I moved to Texas 14 years ago. Her greeting at the Ninety-Nines meeting has stayed with me from that time. Adorable, funny, intelligent, hard-working, passionate, sincere, caring.....I could go on and on. I will miss you my dear. You made a difference.

Condolence: The flying world has lost a mentor and hero. Maybelle was an inspiration to many young women in her years of flying and as a member of the 99's. She was a legend in her own time and will be missed by many. I feel very fortunate to have flown with Maybelle during my instrument flight test and while maping out the airports for a derby as a fellow member of the 99's. My prayers for Larry and the rest of the family.
