<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 3534739, member: 85686&quot;]Sounds like you had a great time John.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have only flown with one person. A friend in western NE who will be nameless. He bought himself a tail dragger while he was getting his license, Cessna I believe, but don&#039;t remember. What I will remember until my dying day, is how he flew it...</p><p><br /></p><p>He flew it like he drove his vehicles, and he was averaging totaling one vehicle a year. Not counting being airborne up on the Oglala Indian Reservation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The very first time he took me up was the same week he got his license. Big mistake on my part. We no sooner had we attained altitude than he said &quot;Watch This&quot;, and proceeded to stall the plane. Then he showed me how he could roll it on its side. Then he saw a rancher he knew and landed in the middle of a prairie dog town. Then he had to take off uphill bouncing over the prairie dog mounds in order to catch the wind. We cleared the barb wire fence by just over 3 feet. </p><p><br /></p><p>Later when I wasn&#039;t there he landed in a muddy field and his wife had to get the truck to pull him to a gravel road for take off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
