Thoughts on Oshkosh

There is a HUGE problem involved in moving tailwheel warbirds like P51's,
F8F's TBM's, TBF's, Spitfires, Sea Furies...you name it.....in a ground
environment where there is limited room to S taxi these airplanes to clear
the nose while in motion.
I would go as far as telling the tailwheel warbird pilots that they are NOT
authorized to move on ANY taxiway without a motorbike wing walker. That is
the ONLY way to stop what happened Sunday.
No handoffs. The same escort, from startup to takeoff.
