See what it’s like to get checked out in the Beechcraft Staggerwing. AOPA Editor at Large Dave Hirschman introduces AOPA Air Safety Institute Senior Vice President Richard McSpadden to the aircraft. Richard was the lead for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team—but even with all that experience, he’s enamored with the classic taildragger. Wait for his “wow” moment when it sinks in that he’s flying a Staggerwing!
