Spring Is Here!

The days are growing longer, leaves are appearing and there is a freak blizzard in Colorado. Spring is here! Soon flying in open cockpits and leaning your elbow out an open Cub door will be in full swing.

Some of the best reasons to fly in the spring:

  • The smell of fresh turned fields from 1,000 feet.

  • Spring clouds, perfect for cloud surfing.

  • The first wash after the plane's winter hibernation.

  • Knocking off the dust with some springtime crosswind landings.

It is a great time to be Dragging Your Tail!

What are your favorite things about springtime flying? Post to the comments below!

Because its Cool to Drag Your Tail!

Dragging Your Tail is just too much fun not to share! Here are some pictures of the Day family dragging their tails. 


Freezing in Kittyhawk, North Carolina.


We were offered a ride in an N3N while visiting Columbia, South Carolina. Though we loved it, our greyhound Jackie wasn't sure what to think.

Goofing around over the eastern plains of Colorado.

Where have you Dragged Your Tail lately? We want to know! Send us your pictures to show off. Email your pics to tailwheelsandflyingwires@gmail.com

Or post them on our Facebook Page.

The Dirty 30 and a Few Goals


Last week came the day I had been dreading for the better part of a year, my thirtieth birthday.  The night before my birthday I lay awake late into the night wondering what it would be like to no longer be in my twenties.  The thought of my youth slipping away was an uneasy feeling as I pictured my face becoming wrinkled and my knees going bad somewhere in the course of the night after I fell asleep. Somehow my mind drifted to flying and I began thinking of what I had accomplished during my twenties.

Can You Guess This Plane?


During a quick vacation to South Korea, my wife and I came across this quirky little taildragger. I had never seen anything like it. Have any guesses to what this plane is?
