Default 2nd airplane

That's true. I used to go in and out of grass fields with the Aeronca
and J-3 that I would *never* take the Bo or Mooney to. Some of the
fields had gopher holes that would rock you pretty good. Dropping a
nosewheel into a 1' deep hole and then back out again doesn't sound
good.

Aww, you've just got the wrong Bo! Newps' Bo can haul 3000 lbs in or
out of a twenty foot boulder field, then cruise 1500 miles home at 350
kts while burning a cool 2.5 gallons (MoGas, that is) per hour...

Happy Flying!
