  1. So this bird now has both a prop strike and tail wheel damage history. Perhaps the first aircraft in history to literally have taken it from both ends?

    1. The school that operates the plane is real dog shit. They have a horrible reputation in the area. Honestly it is amazing they haven't killed somebody yet. The school owner is a racist POS too
