I was not a natural born pilot and the person who taught me to fly told me
if I wanted to learn about tail-draggers I'd have to find someone else. It
wasn't inexperience on his part; his day job was ag pilot flying a Thrush.

A couple of times I would hang out a thousand feet or so above where he
was working. It was like watching ballet. It wasn't much of a plane to use
for stealth. The big old P&W radial could be heard for miles.
