More Info On Neta Snook Southern
It was during the time that she operated a commercial aviation field in California, that Amelia Earhart and her father came to her and asked her to teach Amelia how to fly.
Amelia thought a woman instructor would be a more understanding teacher.
She took a job to earn the money for lessons and later, Amelia and Neta became good friends.
When Neta became a mother, she gave up flying and sold her plane. She did not fly for many years. She took her last flight at age 95.
Neta Snook Southern was inducted into the Iowa Aviation Hall of Fame one year after her death.

Neta was a great lady and absolutely full of life. I first met her in 1970, while a college student conducting research. She lived on Shannon Rd. in Los Gatos, CA and used to drive her pony cart to the local Safeway store at the corner of Blossom Hill and San Jose-Los Gatos Rd. for groceries.
