A conventional gear airplane has a tailwheel.

A "taildragger" does not.

The Air Tractor at the 5:00 mark in the video landed with the tailwheel unlocked. Not a good idea in an Air Tractor.

Thread title changed, just for you.
(I can't do anything about the video title.)
Has anyone ever accused you of being pedantic?
