I used to fly a Grumman Yankee.
Fast, but very squirrelly. Fiddly on the maintenance too. Easy enough for a mechanic to botch the prop installation, it's not a Cessna 152.
Never attribute things to malice when simple incompetence will explain them . . .
This will probably turn out to be a stuck tailwheel. If it doesn't swivel, things get weird fast.

Actually, that's either a -6 or a -7.
The -8 is a 2-place tandem - that aircraft is a 2-place side by side being flown by a pilot who needs to remember to use right rudder in his loops.
I fly a -6.

Yes, that was Inhofe and he made more sense in that one program than O'Brien makes in a year.

I know a woman that happened to also....but it was mostly because she did not exercise or watch her diet.

Inhofe has been making enemies recently speaking out about the global warming scam being pushed by the MSM.

Are there no pilots among us? Ground loops happen. Embarasing, but not hazardous. Strictly pilot error.

I flew a tail dragger once... didn't care for it. I know there are some pilots who love them, but I like being able to see the runway on takeoff.
