Taildraggers? That makes you a real pilot!

Wow! Quite an instructor to have had and that's definitely the kind of flying I'd like to be doing these days...right now, as a matter of fact. It's been a beautiful morning to go flying.

Speaking of taildraggers, I've had my mind and heart set on building a Glasair Sportsman for years now, but I still don't have the time and space to devote to a project like that.

Part of my ongoing "five year plan" that I've not gotten around to yet.

"One of these days..."

Wifey is a 5K hours rotorhead, and though I'm not all that fond of those inverted lawnmowers, she's trying mightily to get me to pick up my rotary-wing ticket, with her in the left-hand seat, of course. I'm thinking about it.

But I've also been giving some thought to getting some UAV time. It's a different attitude and skillset, but the same physics and aerodynamics. We shall see.
