Most recently I have begun my training in a tail wheel airplane called a Decathalon. It was made by an Italian named Bellanca whose claim to no-fame was that Charles Lindberg wanted to fly one of his airplanes across the ocean but Bellanca's partner wanted to be able to pick who would fly the airplane first. They turned down Lindberg's $15,000 check as well as a place in history. Oh well, his design lives on here at Moody and it truly is a great airplane. With a paint scheme like that, you can't help but feel a little patriotic when you fly it. :)
