mea culpa - originally I didn't see this as a ground handling question.

Remember parked C-54's with a long support pole hanging from the tailskid? If loading + wind conspired to make it a taildragger, it could only move an inch or two.

I've seen photos of 747F's on the tailskid. Not pretty! Time to reinvent the wheel?
