Groundloops and bouncing all the way down the runway on landing, and there's always somebody watching.

I had a friend with an Aeronca. It was some of the most fun I ever had flying. It was because it was more useful than a J-3, but more basic than a Skyhawk. Perfect GA plane.

There's another "Wings n Wheels" event next weekend nearby in New Castle PA (KUCP). I can't wait.
