Unfortunately, for a good many pilots, image and ego play a big role in their approach to flying. The rudder pedal crowd looks down on the 'Coupes, the tailwheel crowd looks down on the nose wheel, those who've spun look down on those who, etc. I believe that same image/ego factor causes pilots to put themselves in planes they are not up to mastering, and make go/no go decisions they shouldn't. Me, I just like being up there on a pretty day, and if I can get up there and back more easily, safely, and economically, that's all that counts. I worked on a tailwheel checkout last fall in a Cessna 140, and after dancing on the pedals every landing, straining to see where I was taxiing, constantly realigning the controls to the wind as I taxied about, I thought: why? Add to that my home airport, with its single concrete runway that is never aligned with the wind, and it's 'Coupe time!
