Wonder if there is a Champ alive that was never ground looped?
ReplyDeleteHappened to me as a student years ago -- no damage -- worried folks from the FBO came out, gave me hell then gave me a prop to taxi back. Log book entry was short and to the point -- "1GL"

I would wonder that about a Chief… I bet there is more than one Champ out there that has never ground looped.
