That was a fun outing. First time flying with a stick rather than a yoke and with the second plane in the air would maneuver around in simulated dogfights lining up the sights. Also, first time in a tail dragger and have to zig zag down the taxiway as literally cannot see forward with the nose of the plane raised up. While I had some pilot training, he let me pull it into a stall then recover, but the pilot trained on the aircraft did the loops and rolls. Technically, while it is a 2 person trainer, I was in the front, gunner, seat as the pilot with the instruments does't need the clear vision.
