Kevin Laufer, a GIV captain for an international reinsurance company based in Bermuda and the owner of a 1946 Globe Swift, recently established the Tailwheel Pilots Association (TPA). He says that 1,000 taildragger enthusiasts have already joined.
Laufer, 29, said the TPA has three goals: to promote tailwheel flying and tailwheel aircraft; to create an online community of tailwheel pilots and their aircraft; and to facilitate the availability of tailwheel-related services and products. For more information, visit www.tailwheel.com.
