I used to be in a flying club which started out with only an Aeronca Chief, geez I miss that little plane. A buddy and I would make it a point to take it to a fly-in / pancake breakfast once a month.

Anyone care to guess where "goundloop" came from? There's that old saying about taildragger pilots, there are those that have and those that will (or else are lying).
