Yes, it was a "Scout" which is like a big Citabria (two place, front and back seating, tailwheel, high wing) but it has a 180hp motor with a constant speed prop, which gives it better climb performance and a little faster cruise. The hardest part is flying it slowly for hours, hanging on the edge of the stall, making tight turns, etc. while looking down for run-away kids, and looking out ahead for cell phone towers! Most of the time we are at 300 feet agl, so the towers are a real threat.

Most of the "regular" flights we are looking for grow houses, so we fly much higher, and towers are not such a problem.
