PEYTON WOLTER

Peyton Wolter is a true outdoors enthusiast with roots deeply embedded in the woods and lakes of Wisconsin. From a young age, the outdoors has been a constant in her life. She developed a passion for active pursuits and never backed down from a new adventure.

Hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, wakeboarding, scuba diving – she loves it all. Her journey took an unexpected turn in 2017, when she was a passenger in a boating accident while fishing in Canada. The incident resulted in a T10 spinal cord injury, leaving her with unforeseen challenges. However, Peyton’s resilient character shone through, and she chose to embrace change and strive for self-growth.



During her recovery, Peyton was introduced to her first flight and the world of aviation. The freedom and sense of community that general aviation offered, resonated deeply with her roots, and she was hooked to the skies from day one. In 2020, with the support of the Able Flight scholarship, she achieved her Sport Pilot’s license, marking a significant milestone in her story.


Today, Peyton works in marketing in the outdoor industry and maintains an active lifestyle that is interwoven with her passions. Alongside her hobbies, she cherishes quality time with her family and beloved dog. Traveling to experience new places and immersing herself in diverse cultures is also an integral part of her life. She continues to fly with friends and looks forward to owning her own adapted plane one day. The world of aviation holds boundless opportunities for Peyton, fueling her passion for outdoor recreation and seeking new adventures.

The Beechcraft Heritage Museum at Tullahoma Regional Airport is the site of a new RAF Fire Hub, provided by an RAF grant submitted by Tennessee Ambassador Steve Lewis. The Parish family, who own the Beechcraft Museum, along with other RAF volunteers, contributed to the preparation and installation of the fire hub. They completed the project in time for folks to enjoy it during the annual Beech Party event over the October 10-11 weekend. The 20-foot diameter permanent concrete base was provided by a private donor. The fire ring and three 10-foot-long propeller blades were designed and fabricated by RAF Volunteer Pete Smith of Lewistown, Montana, with design assistance from Pete's son Matt Smith of Bozeman, Montana. The structure lies east of the 2,775-ft turf Parish Aerodrome runway adjacent to the Beechcraft Heritage Museum. “This permanent installation will showcase the RAF mission as the Museum draws visitors from around the country,” Lewis said. For more information on the airport, see the Airfield Guide . Submitted October 21, 2026
