This is an interesting discussion.
So far most of the airplanes tend to be tail wheel airplanes which makes sense as learning to fly on a tail wheel airplane "" DOES '' make for a better hands and feet pilot compared to learning on a nose wheel airplane.
I never got the chance to fly the Chipmunk but that is the one machine I would like to fly just because of what everyone says about it.
I am getting to the age now where I like to just sit and remember all the neat things my over sixty years in aviation has allowed me to experience.
My last day flying in the air show business was probably one of the most exciting for me because when they parked me in the parking place for the next two days of flying I fuc.in near died from excitement because right in front of me was a Grumman Tiger Cat painted dark blue....
....of all the airplanes on earth that is my very favorite one and I spent the next two days with the guy who was flying it.
And being parked right behind him I got to taxi out behind him and hold right beside the runway while he did his display.....it was awesome, simply awesome the power that machine has.
That was my last day in the airshow flying business and couldn't have been better.
Wow.....that was in October 2005 almost ten years ago...yup I'm getting old.
