We expect the lowliest students in a cub to taxi with S turns to clear ahead. It seems very odd that we would not expect a P-51 pilot to keep their eyes outside and do the same.

Alternatively, we could convert them all to nosewheel configuration. That would improve forward visibility and other safety benefits.
