We make a direct test of Tully-Fisher distance estimates to 11 spiral galaxies with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cepheid distances, and to 12 spiral galaxies with Type la supernova (SNIa) distances. The HST Cepheid distances come from the work of Freedman, Sandage et al. and Tanvir et al. The SNIa distances come from Pierce, calibrated using the Cepheid results of Sandage et al. The Tully-Fisher d...
