Club Homepage Forums The Cessna 150-152 Fly-In Fly-In Questions Anyone Interested in getting their Tailwheel Endorsement?

I have a buddy (Delta Captain, Reno Bronze/Silver/Gold Jet Class winner... name is Mike Steiger) who several years back asked me if I'd like to get a tailwheel endorsement in his 172 conversion. Of course I emphatically said yes!!! I'll get to fly and learn from THE BEST!!!

Well, we went up, and all I can say is that if he wasn't there and as good as he is not only as a pilot but also reacting fast enough to recover from a series of bounces in every direction and height that I initiated, you'd be reading about the demise of the Poobster and an airplane, as well as possibly collateral damage.



It was that bad on my part, I'm afraid to say. But, in the spirit of openness and honesty, I confess my egregious lack of airmanship regarding tailwheel airplanes in the landing configuration and process.



I'll stick with the training wheel up front for now.
