How crass can one be ?
A lot crasser than that... but I digress...

Come on John, you are an expert, what's the attraction? I don't get it. Is it just a romance thing? Or is it an ego thing ("I can fly tailwheels... not like your easy-peasy 152...")?

I mean nobody can seriously believe that there is any advantage to a tailwheel configuration... so why do folk go out and get taildragger endorsements?

Seriously.... not dissing backwards airplanes, just wondering what the attraction is. Maybe not getting it is an aviation stigma in itself...
