Had fun today doing some solo flying of the Chipmunk at the Canadian Aviation Museum in Windsor. Weather wasn’t good for anything but circuits but there were enough gusts to keep it interesting. (Photo courtesy of kind museum visitor Ani.) #flying #warbirds

I'm not even sure how this is my life. One of my dream planes I've wanted to go flying in is the Boeing Stearman Model 47 (aka PT-17). Well today I not only got to fly in one, I got to fly it. I'm going to be doing my tailwheel endorsement training in it! It truly was magical!

After a hiatus of a year and a half I got to fly this again on Saturday, as a volunteer pilot at the Canadian Aviation Museum. I’m rusty for sure but hoping to get the hang of it soon. Such an honor to fly such a cool airplane! #avgeek #aviation

Got the opportunity to do some old-school tailwheel flying today in a Husky. Not quite ready for the endorsement, but getting closer.

I know I’m biased but I believe tailwheel aircraft look better when taxiing.

It’s like they’ve got their chest puffed out.

AFSOC’s OA-1K Skyraider II is Undergoing Developmental Testing at Eglin AFB

As the Skyraider II is the USAF’s first tailwheel aircraft in over 50 years, test evaluators had to devise a new methodology to verify its performance.

Lots more aviation folks here now! Yay! Here’s a picture of a pretty plane that I’m lucky to be able to look after:

Love a plane that can fly so slowly that the airspeed indicator can't even sense the speed... #aviation #bushpilot #backcountryaviation #avgeek #stol #bushplane #Flyraf #flywithaopa #flyingmagazine #mauleaircraft #whyifly #tailwheel #taildragger

Well the tailwheel is fucked, but I was able to source a replacement.
