Thats cool. I was just wondering..Here is an old photo of me in the old days clipped from a video in a Cessna 140.

My first CFI, years ago, "made" me learn in an old C142 taildragger. His words were, something to the effect of, "son, If you can learn to take off and land in this thing you can do it it anything".

I consider him a very wise man.

Just wondering, Where did this thread come from? Where did the quote from Charles come from?

Also, I have never heard of a C142...There is an aftermarket conversion for a Cessna 152 called the Texas Taildragger, or a classic Cessna taildragger, the Cessna 140..But never heard of a 142! :) Just wondering, maybe I can learn something...
