Evelyn Stone Bryan Johnson (November 4, 1909 – May 10, 2012), nicknamed "Mama Bird", was the world's oldest flight instructor, and—at one point—the pilot with the highest number of flying hours in the world, of any living pilot. She was a colonel in the Civil Air Patrol and a founding member of the Morristown, Tennessee Civil Air Patrol squadron.
