A final comment....there's been lots of discussion about fighters on here, which is fine, but I think that the bombers are what I'm most concerned about. Those are the aircraft that are most money, insurance, and maintenance intensive. Those are the aircraft that need the most people in the next generation qualified, willing, and able to continue operating them into the future.
That is why I asked the question Randy. I am wondering if we have any younger pilots trying to get into the bombers. If you look at who is flying them now you will see a fairly high average age. We know it can't be done without mentoring from existing pilots.

This is my dream. To one day fly Yankee Lady and Yankee Warrior. I am 28 and flew almost to solo when I was 19 before the money dried up. I am going back to training and will definitely take the suggestions posted on this thread and try to find instruction in taildraggers in the Metro Detroit area.
